SHORT TERM

1. Run auger / impeller for a few minutes to 

remove loose or melting snow to prevent 
impeller from freezing.

2. Tighten all hardware to correct 

specifications.

3. Inspect unit for visible signs of wear or 

damage. Repair as needed.

4. Apply a light layer of oil or anti-rust 

compound on bare metal areas.

5. Prepare fuel system for storage.

NOTICE: 

Ariens recommends using a quality 

fuel stabilizer in all fuel. Gasoline left in the 
fuel system without a stabilizer, even for short 
periods of time, deteriorates and leaves 
gummy deposits in the system that may 
damage the carburetor and fuel hoses, filter 
and tank. For the best effectiveness, add 
stabilizer to all fuel containers whenever 
purchasing fuel. Add the stabilizer to the 
container before adding fuel.

a. Add Ariens fuel stabilizer (see 

Service 

Parts

 on page 14) or equivalent 

according to manufacturer's 
instructions to the fuel tank and any 
fuel containers with remaining fuel.

b. Run engine outdoors for at least 

5 minutes to allow stabilizer to reach 
the carburetor.

6. Close fuel valve and allow engine to stop 

on its own.

7. Set engine switch to off position and 

remove key. 

8. Store unit in a cool, dry, protected area. 

Do not store unit outdoors.

LONG TERM 

1. Perform all short-term storage items.

2. Clean unit thoroughly with mild soap and 

low-pressure water.

IMPORTANT: 

Never spray unit with high-

pressure water.

3. Lubricate as directed in 

Maintenance

 on 

page 13.

4. Touch up all scratched painted surfaces.

5. Remove weight from wheels by putting 

blocks under frame or axle.

6. Store unit in a cool, dry, protected area. 

Do not store unit outdoors.

START-OF-SEASON FUEL 
PREPARATION

Before opening the fuel valve for the first time 
after long-term storage, add fresh, stabilizer-
treated fuel to the fuel tank and any fuel 
containers with remaining fuel.

See your Ariens dealer for a complete list of 
compatible accessories and attachments for 
your unit.
