6.2 Starting the Engine
Before starting the engine, check the machine against the Set-Up instructions (section 4) to see
that it is properly assembled. Review the safety suggestion and operating instructions for safe and
proper use of the plow.
6.3 Pre-Start
1. Check the spark plug wire for proper connection on the spark plug.
2. Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, regular gasoline from a sealed container.
3. Check the oil for proper level.
4. Make certain clutch lever is in disengaged position.
6.4 Filling Fuel Tank
We recommend the use of clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline. The use of lead-free gasoline results in
few combustion deposits and longer valve life. Do not fill fuel tank completely,
allow space for fuel to expand. Provide approximately ¼” of tank space for fuel
expansion.
1. Push the ON/OFF switch, located on engine, to the OFF position and
allow engine to completely cool before refilling the fuel tank.
2. Move to a well-ventilated area, outdoors, away from flames and
sparks.
3. Clean debris from area around the fuel cap.
4. Loosen fuel cap slowly. Prevent the cap from coming in contact with
dirt or debris.
5. Carefully add fuel without spilling.
6. Do not fill gas tank completely full, allow space for fuel to expand.
7. Immediately replace fuel cap and tighten. Wipe off spilled fuel to allow it to dry before
starting engine.
