STORAGE

Immediately prepare your snow thrower for storage at 

the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 

days or more.

WARNING: Never store the snow 

thrower with gaso line in the tank in side 

a build ing where fumes may reach an 

open flame, spark or pilot light as on 

a fur nace, water heater, clothes dryer 

or gas ap pli ance.  Allow the engine to 

cool be fore storing in any enclosure.

SNOW THROWER

When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time, 

clean it thor oughly, re move all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. 

Store in a clean, dry area.
1.  Clean entire snow thrower (See “CLEANING” in the 

Main te nance section of this manual).

2.  Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See “TO RE-

 PLACE BELTS” in the Service and Adjustments sec tion 

of this manual).

3.  Lubricate as shown in the Main te nance sec tion of this 

man u al.

4.  Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and pins are securely 

fas tened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage 

and wear. Replace if nec es sary.

5.  Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand 

lightly before painting.

ENGINE

See engine manual.

FUEL SYS TEM
IMPORTANT

:  It is important to prevent gum deposits from 

forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,  

fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended 

fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can 

attract moisture which leads to separation and formation 

of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel 

system of an engine while in storage.

•  Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting 

it run until the fuel lines and car bu re tor are empty.

•  Never use engine or carburetor cleaner prod ucts in 

the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

•  Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: 

 Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min i-

 miz ing the formation of fuel gum deposits during stor age. 

Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. 

Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container. 

Run engine at least 10 min utes after adding stabilizer to 

allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not drain the 

gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine 

oil. (See “ENGINE” in the Maintenance section of this 

man ual).

CYLINDER

1.  Remove spark plug.
2.  Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark plug hole 

into cylinder.

3.  Pull recoil starter handle slowly a few times to dis trib ute 

oil.

4.  Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

•  Remove safety ignition key; store it in a safe place.
•  Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
•  Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. 

Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.

• 

If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover 

it to protect it from dust and dirt.

•  Cover your snow thrower with a suitable pro tec tive 

cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. 

Plastic cannot breathe, which allows con den sa tion to 

form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.

IMPORTANT

: Never cover snow thrower while engine/

exhaust area is still warm.
