Inspecting the Rotor Blades
Before each season, inspect the rotor blades for wear. When
a rotor blade edge has worn down to the wear indicator
hole, have an Authorized Service Dealer replace both rotor
blades and the scraper (Figure 10).

Inspecting the Scraper
Before each season, inspect the scraper for wear. If the
thickness from the top of the wear indicator groove to
the bottom of the scraper is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm)
or there is no longer a wear indicator groove, replace the
scraper (Figure 11).

Storage
Storing the Snowthrower
Gasoline fumes are highly flammable, explosive, and
dangerous if inhaled. If you store the product in an
area with an open flame, the gasoline fumes may
ignite and cause an explosion.
Do not store the snowthrower in a house (living
area), basement, or any other area where ignition
sources may be present, such as hot water and space
heaters, clothes dryers, furnaces, and other like
appliances.
Important:
Store the snowthrower in its operating
position and on its wheels. Storing the snowthrower on
its front housing may cause hard starting.
1. Add a fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the fuel in the fuel
tank as directed.
Note:
If you use Toro 50:1 2-Cycle Oil (Fuel
Stabilizer Added), you do not need to add a fuel
stabilizer/conditioner.
2. Run the engine for 5 minutes to distribute the
conditioned fuel through the fuel system.
3. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
4. Use a hand pump to pump the fuel from the fuel tank
into an approved fuel container, or run the engine until
it stops.
5. Start the engine and run it until it stops.
6. Choke or prime the engine, start it a third time, and run
the engine until it will not start.
7. Slowly pull the recoil starter until you feel resistance due
to compression pressure, then stop.
8. Release the starter tension gradually by allowing the
rope to go back slowly to prevent the engine from
reversing due to compression pressure.
9. Dispose of unused fuel properly. Recycle it according to
local codes, or use it in your automobile.
Note:
Do not store stabilized fuel for more than 90
days.
10. Tighten all loose screws, bolts, and locknuts. Repair or
replace any damaged parts.
11. Clean the snowthrower thoroughly.
12. Cover the snowthrower and store it in a clean, dry place
out of the reach of children. Allow the engine to cool
before storing it in any enclosure.
