LUBRICATION CHART SAE 5W-30 Motor Oil See "ENGINE" in Maintenance section General Purpose Grease Pivot points BEFORE EACH USE 1. Check controls to be sure they are functioning properly. LUBRICATION Keep your snow thrower well lubricated (See "LUBRICATION CHART"). Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade according to your expected operating temperature. NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc. ) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption when used above 32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil. Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least once a year if the snow thrower is not used for 25 hours in one year. Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil fill cap / dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.
