OPERATION

MTF−051059L

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

Check the oil

NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled

with oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
1. Make sure the unit is level.Use a high quality detergent

oil classified “For Service SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher”.

2. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe with a clean

cloth (see Figure 16).

3. Insert the oil fill cap/dipstick and turn clockwise to tighten.
4. Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick and check the oil.

NOTE: Do not check the level of the oil while the

engine runs.

5. If necessary, add oil until the oil reaches the FULL mark

on the oil fill/cap dipstick (see Figure 16). Do not add too

much oil.

6. Tighten the fill cap/dipstick securely each time you check

the oil level.

NOTE: For extreme cold operating conditions of 0F

(−18 C) and below, use a synthetic 5W30 motor oil for

easier starting.
NOTE: S.A.E. 5W30 motor oil may be used to make

starting easier in areas where the temperature is 20 F.

(−7 C) to 0F (−18 C). Synthetic 5W30 is acceptable for

all temperatures. DO NOT mix oil with gasoline.

FILL GAS

This engine is certified to operate on gasoline. Exhaust

Emission Control System: EM (Engine Modifications)
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh, clean, unleaded regular, un-

leaded premium, or reformulated automotive gasoline

with a minimum of 85 octane along with a fuel stabilizer

(follow instructions on fuel stabilizer package). DO NOT

use leaded gasoline. We recommend that fuel stabilizer

be added to the fuel each time that gasoline is added to

the fuel tank.
NOTE: Winter grade gasoline has higher volatility to

improve starting. Be certain container 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: DO NOT use gasoline containing any

amount of alcohol as it can cause serious damage to

the engine or significantly reduce the performance.

2. Check to make sure that spark plug is tightened securely

into engine and spark plug wire is attached to spark plug.

If torque wrench is available, torque plug to 18−23 ft−lbs.

WARNING: Gasoline is flammable. Always use

caution when handling or storing gasoline. Do

not add gasoline to the fuel tank while snow

blower is running, hot, or when snow blower is in an en-

closed area. Keep away from open flame, electrical

sparks and DO NOT SMOKE while filling the fuel tank.

Never fill the fuel tank completely; but fill the fuel tank

to within 1-1/2 inch (3.8 mm) from the top to provide

space for the expansion of the 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 assure

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 it out of their reach be-

cause the fumes are dangerous to inhale, as well as be-

ing explosive.
