Operation

Before Operation

Before Operation Safety

•
For electric-start models only: Use extension
cords and receptacles as specified in the manual.
Thoroughly inspect the electrical cord before
plugging it into a power source. If the cord is
damaged, do not use it. Replace the damaged
cord. Unplug the power cord whenever you are
not starting the machine.
•
Wear adequate winter garments whenever
you operate the machine. Wear substantial,
slip-resistant footwear that improves footing on
slippery surfaces. Avoid loose-fitting clothing that
can get caught in moving parts.
•
Always wear eye protection during operation or
while performing an adjustment or repair to protect
your eyes from foreign objects that the machine
may throw.
•
Thoroughly inspect the area where you will use the
machine, and remove all doormats, sleds, boards,
wires, and other foreign objects.
•
If a shield, safety device, or decal is damaged,
illegible, or missing, repair or replace it before
beginning operation. Also, tighten any loose
fasteners.
DANGER
Fuel is extremely flammable and explosive. A
fire or explosion from fuel can burn you and
others.
• To prevent a static charge from igniting the
fuel, place the container and/or machine on
the ground before filling, not in a vehicle
or on an object.
• Fill the tank outdoors when the engine is
cold. Wipe up spills.
• Do not handle fuel when smoking or
around an open flame or sparks.
• Store fuel in an approved fuel container,
out of the reach of children.
• Do not tip the machine either forward
or backward with fuel in the fuel tank;
otherwise, fuel may leak out of the
machine.

Filling the Fuel Tank

•
For best results, use only clean, fresh (less than
30 days old), unleaded gasoline with an octane
rating of 87 or higher ((R+M)/2 rating method).
•
Ethanol: Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol
(gasohol) or 15% MTBE (methyl tertiary butyl
ether) by volume is acceptable. Ethanol and MTBE
are not the same. Gasoline with 15% ethanol
(E15) by volume is not approved for use. Never
use gasoline that contains more than 10% ethanol
by volume, such as E15 (contains 15% ethanol),
E20 (contains 20% ethanol), or E85 (contains 85%
ethanol). Using unapproved gasoline may cause
performance problems and/or engine damage
which may not be covered under warranty.
•
Do not use gasoline containing methanol.
•
Do not store fuel either in the fuel tank or fuel
containers over the winter unless you use a fuel
stabilizer.
•
Do not add oil to gasoline.
Important:
To reduce starting problems, add fuel
stabilizer to the fuel all season, mixing it with
gasoline less than 30 days old.
