vided).

or multi-viscosity oils, such as 10W-30 or
10W-40.
• Reinstall the cap on the gasoline con-

WARNING: Gasoline is flammable and
caution must be used when handling or
storing it. Do not fill fuel tank while snow
thrower is running, hot, or when snow
thrower is in an enclosed area. Keep away
from open flame, electrical spark, and do
not smoke while filling the fuel tank. Never
fill fuel tank completely; but fill the tank to
within 1/4-1/2 inch from the top to provide
space for expansion of fuel. Always fill fuel
tank outdoors and use a funnel or spout to
prevent spilling. Make sure to wipe up any
spilled fuel before starting the engine. Store
gasoline in a clean, approved container, and
keep the cap in place on the container.
Keep gasoline in a cool, well ventilated
place; never in the house. Never buy more
than a 30 day supply of gasoline to ensure
volatility. Gasoline is intended to be used as
a fuel for internal combustion engines;
therefore, do not use gasoline for any other
purpose. Since many children like the smell
of gasoline, keep itout of their reach
because the fumes are dangerous to inhale,
as well as being explosive.
