NOTE
When changing, or adding oil to the engine refer to the technical data. Do not use non-detergent oil or 2-stroke
engine oil. Doing so may shorten the engine
ʼ
s service life. Do not overfill. Overfilling the engine with oil may
result in the engine smoking, difficulties in starting or spark plug fouling.
STORAGE
Engines stored over 30 days need to be drained of fuel to prevent deterioration and gum from forming in the
fuel system or on essential carburetor parts. If the gasoline in your engine deteriorates during storage, you
may need to have the carburetor, and other fuel system components, serviced or replaced.
If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, follow these instructions:
1.
Remove all fuel from the tank by running the engine until it stops.
2.
Change the engine oil.
3.
Remove the spark plug and pour approximately 30 ml of clean engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the
recoil starter several times to distribute the oil, and reinstall the spark plug.
4.
Clean debris from around the engine and behind the muffler. Apply a light film of oil on any areas that
are susceptible to rust.
5.
Store in a clean, dry, well ventilated area away from any appliance that operates with a flame or pilot
light, such as a furnace, water heater or clothes dryer. Avoid any area with a spark producing electric
motor, or where power tools are operated.
6.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity.
7.
Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting the engine can cause fuel or oil leakage.
