FUEL RECOMMENDATIONS

Fuel must meet these requirements:

• Clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline.

• A minimum of 87 octane/87 AKI (91 RON). High altitude use,

see below.

• Gasoline with up to 10% ethanol (gasohol) or up to 15% MTBE

(methyl tertiary butyl ether) is acceptable.

NOTICE: Do not use unapproved gasolines, such as E85. Do

not mix oil in gasoline or modify the engine to run on

alternate fuels. This will damage the engine components

and void the engine warranty.

To protect the fuel system from gum formation, mix a fuel stabilizer

into the fuel. All fuel is not the same. If starting or performance

problems occur, change fuel providers or change brands. This

engine is certified to operate on gasoline. The emissions control

system for this engine is EM (Engine Modifications).

High Altitude

At altitudes over 5,000 feet (1524 meters), a minimum

85 octane/85 AKI (89 RON) gasoline is acceptable. To remain

emissions compliant, high altitude adjustment is required.

Operation without this adjustment will cause decreased

performance, increased fuel consumption, and increased

emissions. See a Briggs & Stratton Authorized Dealer for high

altitude adjustment information.

Operation of the engine at altitudes below 2,500 feet (762 meters)

with the high altitude kit is not recommended.

OPERATION

Start the engine as follows:

1. Check the oil level.

2. Make sure equipment drive controls are disengaged.

3. Push the ON/OFF switch (A, Figure 17), if equipped, to the ON

position.

START THE ENGINE

Be sure that engine oil is at FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick.

The snowthrower engine is equipped with an AC electric starter

and recoil starter. Before starting the engine, be certain that you

have read the following information.

If engine floods, set the choke to the OPEN/RUN position and

crank until the engine starts.

WARNING: The electric starter is equipped with a three-

wire power cord and plug designed to operate on AC

household current. The power cord must be properly

grounded at all times to avoid the possibility of electric shock

which can cause injury to the operator. Follow all instructions

carefully as set forth:

Make sure your house has a three-wire grounded system.

If you are not sure, ask a licensed electrician. If your house

does not have a three-wire grounded system, do not use this

electric starter under any condition.

If your house has a three-wire grounded system but a three-

hole receptacle is not available to connect the electric starter,

have a three-hole receptacle installed by a licensed electrician.

WARNING: To connect power cord, always connect the

power cord first to the switch box located on the

engine and then plug the other end into a three-hole

grounded receptacle.

WARNING: To disconnect the power cord, always

unplug the end connected to the three-hole grounded

receptacle first.

WARNING: Rapid retraction of the starter cord (kickback)

will pull your hand and arm toward the engine faster

than you can let go. Broken bones, fractures, bruises,

or sprains could result. When starting engine, pull the

starter cord slowly until resistance is felt and then pull

rapidly to avoid kickback.

NOTE: If the engine does not start after three attempts, see

an authorized dealer.

8. Electric Start: First connect the extension cord to the power

cord receptacle and then into a wall receptacle. If additional ex-

tension cord is required, make sure it is three-wire.

OPERATION

CLEAR A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE

DANGER: Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside

the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury

associated with snowthrowers. Never clear or unclog

discharge chute with your hands, or while engine is

running. Fingers can quickly become caught and

traumatic amputation or severe laceration can result.

OPERATING TIPS

1. Most efficient snowthrowing is accomplished when snow is

removed immediately after it falls.

2. For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each swath

previously taken.

3. Snow should be discharged downwind whenever possible.

4. For normal usage, set the skids 1/8 inch (3 mm) below the

scraper bar. For extremely hard-packed snow surfaces, the

skids may be adjusted upward to ensure cleaning efficiency.

5. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, the skids should be set at

1-1/4 inch (32 mm) below the scraper bar (see Adjust Skid

Height in the Maintenance section of this manual). Rocks

and gravel must not be picked up and thrown by the machine.

6. After the snowthrowing job has been completed, allow the

engine to idle for a few minutes, to melt snow and ice

accumulated on the engine.

7. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly after each use.

8. Remove ice and snow accumulation and all debris from the

entire snowthrower, and flush with water (if possible) to remove

all salt or other chemicals. Wipe snowthrower dry.

9. Before starting snowthrower, always inspect augers and

impeller for ice accumulation and/or debris, which could result

in snowthrower damage.

10. Check oil level before every start. Make sure the oil is at the

FULL mark on the oil fill cap/dipstick.

Clean-Out Tool Figure 22

A

• SHUT OFF THE ENGINE!

• Wait 10 seconds to be sure that the impeller blades have

stopped rotating.

• Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.

A clean-out tool (A, Figure 22) is attached to either the handle or

the top of the auger housing. Use the clean-out tool to remove

snow from the auger housing.

STOP THE ENGINE

Before stopping the engine, idle for a few minutes to help dry off

any moisture on the engine.

WARNING: Gasoline and vapors are extremely

flammable and explosive. Fire or explosion can cause

severe burns or death. DO NOT choke the carburetor to

stop the engine.

1. Push the ON/OFF switch (A, Figure 21), if equipped, to the

OFF position.

2. Remove the safety key (B). Keep the safety key out of the

reach of children. Stopping Engine Figure 21
