OIL RECOMMENDATION
Only use high quality detergent oilrated
with API service classification SG. Select
the oil's viscosity grade according to your
expected operating temperature.
NOTE: For extreme cold operating condi-
tions of 0° and below, use a partial synthetic
OW30 motor oil for easier starting.
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils im-
prove starting in cold weather, these multi-
viscosity oils will result in increased oil
consumption when used above 32°1. Check
your engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running
low on oil.
Change the oil every 25 hours and at the
beginning of each season.
• Position the snow thrower so that the oil
drain plug is at the lowest point on the
engine. Remove the oil drain plug and the
oil fill cap/dipstick. Drain the oil into e suit-
able container. Oil will drain more freely
when warm.
• Replace the oil drain plug and tighten se-
curely.

SPARK PLUG
• Make sure that the spark plug istightened
securely into the engine and the spark
plug wire is attached to the spark plug.
• If a torque wrench isavailable, torque
plug to 18 to 23 foot pounds.
• Clean the area around the spark plug
base before removal to prevent dirtfrom
entering the engine.
• Clean the spark plug and reset the gap
periodically at .030 inch.
,'_ CAUTION: Always disconnect the
spark plug wire and tie back away from
the plug before making any adjustments
or repairs.
TO ADJUST THE CLUTCH CONTROL
CABLE
Periodic adjustment of the cable may be re-
quired due to normal stretch and wear on
the belts. To check for correct adjustment,
the control lever must be in the full forward
position, resting on the plastic bumper. The
control cable is correctly adjusted when the
center ofthe "Z" fitting is between the cen-
ter and top of the hole in the clutch lever
and there is no droop in the cable (see first
figure).
It adjustment is necessary:
• Disconnect "Z"fitting from drive lever
(see first figure).
• Push the cable through the spring (see
second figure), to expose the threaded
portion of the cable.
