oil fill cap/dipstick and fill the crank case to
(FULL) line on dipstick (20 ounces) (see
next figure).

FILL GAS
NOTICE: ENGINES WHICH ARE CERTI-
FIED TO COMPLY WITH CALIFORNIA
AND US EPA EMISSION REGULATIONS
FOR ULGE ENGINES: Are certified to op-
erate on regular unleaded gasoline. Include
the following emission control system(s):
EM, TWC (if so equipped). Include any user
adjustable features - therefore no other ad-
justmants are needed.
WARNING: Experience indicates that alco-
hol blended fuels (called gasohol or those
using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and for-
mation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage for 30
days or longer. Start the engine and let it
run until the fuel lines and carburetor are
empty. Use the carburetor bowl drain to
empty residual gasoline from the float
chamber. Use fresh fuel next season (see
•Storage instructions on page 22 for addi-
tional information).
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.
Fill the fuel tank with a fresh, clean, un-
leaded regular, unleaded premium, or
reformulated automotive gasoline only. DO
NOT use leaded gasoline. Be sure that the
container you pour the gasoline from is
clean and free from rust or other foreign
particles. Never use gasoline that may be
stale from long periods of storage in the
container.
/_ CAUTION: Gasoline is flammable and
caution must be used when handling or stor_
ing it.
Do not fill fuel tank while snow thrower is
running, when it is hot, or when snow
thrower is in an enclosed area.
Keep away from open flame or an electrical
spark and DO NOT SMOKE while filling the
fuel tank.
NEVER fill the tank completely. FILL THE
TANK to within 1/4" - 1/2" from the top to
provide space for expansion of fuel.
Always fill fuel tank outdoors and use a fun-
nel or spout to prevent spilling.
