The correct fuel/oil mixture ratio for the five horsepower
engine is 50 to 1. Use fuel/oil mixture chart shown.
NOTE: To prevent damage to engine, carefully
observe recommended fuel to oil mixing ratio and
procedures.
WARNING
• Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean fuel
container.
Gasoline is highly flammable and must be handled
with care. Never fill the tank when the engine is hot
or running. Always move outdoors to fill the tank.
Keep snowthrower and gasoline away from open
flame or spark.
• Always use fresh, unleaded, winter grade fuel
• Never put plain, unmixed fuel into fuel tank. Shake
fuel container each time before filling fuel tank.
• Never use “stale” fuel left over from last season or
stored for long periods.
• DO NOT USE MULTI VISCOSITY OILS, SUCH AS
10W-30 or 10W-40.
Proper Fuel Mixing Procedure

gallon (4 liter) container.
2. Pour recommended amount of high quality two
cycle oil — 2.5 ounces (80 ml) into fuel container for
one gallon (4 liters) of fuel. (NOTE: DO NOT USE
MULTI VISCOSITY OILS, SUCH AS 10W-30 or
10W-40.)
3. Reinstall cap on the fuel container and shake con-
tainer vigorously so oil mixes with gasoline.
4. Unscrew cap and fill container with fuel. Shake con-
tainer again.
5. Remove fuel tank cap and carefully pour mixed fuel
into the fuel tank, filling to 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) below
filler neck to allow room for expansion. Never put
plain, unmixed fuel into fuel tank. Shake fuel con-
tainer each time before filling fuel tank.

Figure 4. Auger Cable Adjustment - Disengaged
A. Cable Spring
1. Turn the engine OFF.
B. Jam Nut
2. With the auger control disengaged, measure the
length of the cable spring (A, Figure 4).
3. Engage the auger control and measure the length of
the expanded cable spring (A, Figure 5).
The cable spring should be stretched 1/2”-3/4”
(1.3cm-1.9cm) when the auger control is engaged. If
not, proceed to step 4.
4. Loosen the jam nut (B, Figure 4) at the upper end of
the cable. Hold the threaded end of the cable and
turn the cable clockwise until the desired extension is
achieved. Retighten the jam nut and repeat steps 2-
3.
If the cable sheath cannot be adjusted to achieve
1/2”-3/4” (1.3cm-1.9cm) of spring deflection, the
auger belt idler pulley can be adjusted. See the fol-
lowing section.

WARNING
Test Run
DO NOT over-tighten the cable. The control
cable must have some slack when in the
disengaged position for the auger brake to
function properly. If the auger does not stop
within 5 seconds of the auger control being
released, see your dealer.
Test run the unit for several minutes. Check that the fol-
lowing work properly:
• Primer
• Auger Control Cable
• Kill Switch
• Choke
• Recoil Starter
• Chute Rotator
• Deflector
• Electric Starter
