Maintenance and Adjustments

We recommend you contact an Authorized Service Dealer for
all maintenance, adjustments, and servicing of the unit. The
owner can do some routine maintenance tasks. Refer to the
maintenance schedule and procedures that follow.
CAUTION
All the components used to build this product must remain
in place for correct operation. Replacement parts must be
of the same design and installed in the same position as the
original parts. Other parts may not perform as well, damage
the unit, and result in injury.
WARNING
This snowthrower must be correctly maintained to ensure
safe operation and performance. Failure to obey the safety
instructions in this manual could result in death or serious
injury.
• Before maintenance or repairs on the snowthrower,
STOP the engine and remove the ignition key or the
push/pull key.
Maintenance Schedule
First 5 Hours
Change the oil.
Before Each Use
• Check the engine oil level.
• Check the auger stop time.
After Each Use
Remove accumulated snow and slush to prevent freezing of the controls,
wheels, discharge chute, and auger.
Every 25 Hours or Annually
• Check the scraper bar for wear.
• Change the engine oil.

Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions control
devices and systems can be serviced by a non-road engine
repair establishment or individual. However, to obtain "no
charge" emissions control service, the work must be serviced
by a factory authorized dealer.
Changing the Engine Oil
Discard used oil correctly. Do not discard with household
waste. Check with your local authorities, service center, or
dealer for safe disposal or recycling facilities.
Use Briggs & Stratton Synthetic 5W-30 Warranty Certified oil
for best performance. Other high-quality detergent oils are
acceptable if classified for service SG, SH, SJ or higher. Do
not use any additives.
1. STOP the engine. Turn the ignition key to the OFF
position.
2. Remove the ignition key, or pull out the Push/Pull key (if
equipped).
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable, which could
cause burns or fire that result in death or serious injury.
• During maintenance, tilt the unit, and drain the fuel tank.
Fuel leakage can result in a fire or explosion.
3. Remove the oil drain plug (D, Figure 16). Tilt the
snowthrower a small distance rearward. Drain the oil into
an appropriate container.
4. Install and tighten the oil drain plug.
