OFF SEASON STORAGE
WARNING: Never store engine with fuel in tank
indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated enclo-
sures, where fuel fumes may reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer, etc.
Handle gasoline carefully. It is highly flammable and
careless use could result In serious fire damage to your
person and /or property.
If the snowthrower is to be stored for thirty (30) days or more
at the end of the snow season, the following steps are
recommended to prepare your snowthrower for storage.
NOTE: Gasoline must be removed or treated to prevent
gum deposits from forming in the tank, filter, hose, and
carburetor during storage.
1.
To remove gasoline, run engine until tank is empty and
engine stops.
If you do not want to remove gasoline use the fuel stabilizer
supplied with unit. Add fuel stabilizer (follow instructions on
fuel stabilizer package) to any gasoline left in the tank to
minimize gum deposits and acids. If the tank is almost empty,
mix stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a separate container and
add some to the tank. ALWAYS FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
ON STABILIZER CONTAINER. THEN RUN ENGINE AT
LEAST 10 MINUTES AFTER STABILIZER IS ADDED TO
ALLOW MIXTURE TO REACH CARBURETOR. STORE
SNOWTHROWER IN SAFE PLACE.
2.
You can help keep your engine in good operating condi-
tion by changing oil before storage.
3.
Remove the spark plug and pour about 15 ml (1/2 oz) of
engine oil into the cylinder. Replace the spark plug and
crank slowly to distribute the oil.
4.
Thoroughly clean the snowthrower.
5.
Lubricate all lubrication points (see “Lubrication” in the
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES section).
6.
Insure that all nuts, bolts, and screws are securely fas-
tened. Inspect all visible moving parts for damage,
breakage, and wear. Replace if necessary.
7.
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly
before painting.
8.
Cover the bare metal parts of the blower housing auger,
and the impeller with rust preventative.

If possible, store your snowthrower indoors and cover it
to give protection from dust and dirt.

nace or water heater which uses a pilot light or any device
