OPEBATION
TO USE WEIGHT TRANSFER SYSTEM
In hard packed or heavy snow conditions, conventional
snow throwers lend to ride up and leave uneven mounds
of snow behind. For these conditions, your new tracked
snow thrower has a unique weight transfer system (See
Fig. 11) designed to minimize ride-up.
Stepping onthe weight transfer pedal shifts more weight
to the auger housing. This weight transfer keeps the
snow thrower in contact with the ground and reduces
ride-up.
In lighter snow conditions or when transporting, you
should release the weight transfer system for easier
steering.
® To use the weight transfer, hold the upper handle
firmly and push down on the weight transfer pedal
(See Fig. 12) with the ball of your foot
® To release, pull up onthe weight transfer pedal with
the top of your foot
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
FILL/ ADD OIL:
The engine on this snow thrower was shipped without
oil. Add oil before you start the engine. Remove the oil
fill cap/dipstick and fill the crank case to FULL line on
dipstick (about 21 ounces) (See Fig. 13) with S A E.
10 W-30 motor oil (or equivalent). Do not overfill Tighten
the fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil
level.
NOTE: S.A.E. 5W-30 motor oil may be used to make
starting easier in areas where temperature is consis­
tently 20” F. or lower.
