STORAGE
At the end of the working season or when the
snow blower will not be used for a long
period, it is a good practice to clean off any
dirt or salt that may have accumulated on the
snow blower and any of the moving parts.
Apply a coat of oil to the chain to prevent rust.
•
Detach and store the snow blower in
an area where children normally do
not play.
•
Clean as necessary.
•
Check cutting blade for wear and
replace if necessary.
•
Inspect snow blower for loose,
damaged or worn parts and adjust or replace as needed.
•
Do not forget to check the safety labels.
•
Replace worn labels.
•
Store unit inside for longer life.
•
Alternatively, cover with a tarp to reduce exposure and prevent weather damage.
•
Repaint parts where paint is worn or scratched to prevent rust.
•
Storing the snow blower in freezing conditions after use may cause the fan & auger to
freeze in place. This may result in breaking PTO shaft shear bolts upon startup.
