ADD OIL & FUEL
1. The snowthrower is shipped
WITHOUT OIL in the engine.
2. Add enough of the recommended
oil (page 10) to bring the oil level
to the top of the filler hole. A bottle
of oil is included in the box with
your snowthrower.
All Honda engines are run at the
factory prior to packaging. Most of
the oil is removed prior to ship-
ment; however, some oil remains
in the engine. The amount of oil left in the engine varies.
3. Add regular unleaded fuel to the fuel tank. The fuel capacity is
1.37 US quarts (1.3 liters). See page 12.
