CAUTION:
BEFORE STARTING
Fill crankcase with Ariens Sno-Thro oil 5W-20 when
using Sno-Thro.
Use Ariens Gard-N-Yard oil MS classification SAE-30 oil

Refer to Engine Manual for appropriate crankcase oil sub­
stitutes.
Fill fuel tank with fresh, clean, unleaded automotive
gasoline. Do not mix oil with gasoline. (Leaded "regular"
grade gasoline is an acceptable substitute).
Make visual check with regards to safety precautions, ob­
structions, lubrication and maintenance.
NOTE; Check for frozen fan before starting engine. These
problems arise in wet, slushy snow. If the fan is frozen, it is
best freed by thawing in a heated garage or other building.
The best solution is preventing freezing. Allow the engine to
run for a short time before shutting down to throw the re­
maining slush and water out of the blower housing and thus
prevent freezing of the fan. After engine is stopped move
choke lever to full choke and throttle control to fast and leave
in this position.
