Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive.
Fumes may travel to a distant ignition source and an explo-
sion and/or fire may result.
Handle gasoline carefully. Never store the unit, with fuel in
the tank, indoors or in a poorly ventilated enclosure where
fuel fumes could reach an open flame, spark, pilot light,
such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer.
• Thoroughly clean the unit.
• Lubricate all lubrication points (see Maintenance sec-
tion).
• Make sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fas-
tened. Inspect all visible moving parts for damage, break-
age, and wear. Replace if necessary.
• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand light-
ly before painting.
• Cover the bare metal parts of the snowthrower housing
auger, and the impeller with rust preventative.
• If possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give
protection from dust and dirt.

heavy tarpaulin.
To Return to Service:
