WARNING

The operation of any snowthrower can result in foreign objects being thrown into the eyes, which can result in severe

eye damage. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields before beginning snowthrower operation.

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 gasoline, 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.

Maintenance

Inspection

1. Start the engine.

2. Engage the auger control. The auger should turn.

3. Release the auger control. The auger should stop within

5 seconds.

If the auger does not turn or stop as indicated above,

perform the adjustment procedure, or take the unit to your

local authorized dealer for repair.

Adjustment

1. Turn off the engine and remove the key. Wait for all

moving parts to stop.

2. Slide the cable cover (A, Figure 14) up to expose the

cable adjustment loops (B) and Z-bend (C).

3. Disengage the cable Z-bend from the cable loops, and

install it in the next highest loop to increase belt tension.

Auger Cable Adjustment

WARNING

Do not over-tighten, as this may lift the lever and cause the

auger drive to be engaged without depressing the auger drive

control.

WARNING

The auger must stop within 5 seconds after releasing the con-

trol. If it does not, see an authorized dealer.

If the auger no longer turns when the control is engaged,

or if the belt slips under load, the auger cable or belt may

have stretched. This can be compensated for by adjusting

the auger cable. If the belt is too worn or broken, see your

authorized dealer for repair.

NOTICE: The auger must not turn unless the auger control

is engaged. The auger must disengage within 5 seconds

after the auger control is released. If it does not, see your

Storage

WARNING

Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable

and explosive.

Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or

death.

When Storing Fuel or Equipment with Fuel in Tank

• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters or other

appliances that have pilot lights or ignition sources because

they can ignite fuel vapors.

Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale

fuel causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel

system or on essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh,

use Briggs & Stratton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment

& Stabilizer, available wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine

service parts are sold.

For engines equipped with a FRESH START® fuel cap,

use Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® available in a drip

concentrate cartridge.

There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel

stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the en-

gine for 2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the

fuel system before storage.

Engine Oil

While the engine is still warm, change the engine oil.

Snowthrower

1. Thoroughly clean the snowthrower.

2. Lubricate all lubrication points (see authorized dealer).

3. Make sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely

fastened. Inspect all visible moving parts for damage,

breakage, and wear. Replace if necessary.

4. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces.

5. Cover the bare metal parts of the auger and impeller

with rust preventative.

6. If possible, store your snowthrower indoors and cover it

to protect from dust and dirt.

7. On models with folding handles, loosen the knobs that

secure the upper handle. Rotate the upper handle

forward.

8. If stored outdoors, place the snowthrower on blocks and

ensure the entire machine is off the ground. Cover the

snowthrower with a heavy tarpaulin.
