Before Placing in Storage
1. Thoroughly clean the snowthrower.
2. Remove the sparkplug. Clean and re-gap, if necessary, or
replace the sparkplug.
3. Make sure all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fastened.
4. Inspect moving parts for wear or damage. Replace parts as
necessary.
5. Lubricate the controls and moving parts.
6. Spray unpainted metal surfaces with a rust preventative.
7. Fold down the upper handle, if desired.
8. For indoor storage, cover the snowthrower and store it in a
dry area away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or other
appliances that have pilot lights or other ignition sources.
9. For outdoor storage, raise the snowthrower off the ground and
cover it with a heavy tarpaulin.
After Removing from Storage
1. Raise the upper handle and tighten the handle knobs
securely.
2. Remove the oil dipstick and check the oil level. If necessary,
add oil until the level reaches the FULL mark on the oil
dipstick. Do not overfill.
3. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel.
4. Ensure that all guards, shields, and covers are in place and
that all fasteners are tight.
Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when stored over 30 days. Stale fuel
causes acid and gum deposits to form in the fuel system or on
essential carburetor parts. To keep fuel fresh, use Briggs & Strat-
ton® Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment & Stabilizer, available
wherever Briggs & Stratton genuine service parts are sold.
For engines equipped with a FRESH START® fuel cap, use
Briggs & Stratton FRESH START® available in a drip concentrate
cartridge.
There is no need to drain gasoline from the engine if a fuel
stabilizer is added according to instructions. Run the engine for
2 minutes to circulate the stabilizer throughout the fuel system
before storage.
If gasoline in the engine has not been treated with a fuel stabi-
lizer, it must be drained into an approved container. Then run the
engine until it stops from lack of fuel. The use of a stabilizer in the
storage container is recommended to maintain freshness.

WARNING
When Storing Gasoline or Equipment With Fuel in Tank
• Store away from furnaces, stoves, water heaters, or other
appliances that have pilot light or other ignition source
because they can ignite fuel vapors.
Fuel and its vapors are extremely flammable
and explosive. Always handle fuel with
extreme care.
Failure to observe these safety instructions can
cause a fire or explosion which will result in
severe burns or death.
