WARNING
Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance.
Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from any open flame. Be certain engine is cool. Do not smoke. Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.
Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. Never use engine or carburetor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

7Observe the following, when preparing your snow thrower for off-season storage:

•Drain fuel into an approved container outdoors, away from any open flame. Allow engine to cool. Extin- guish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources

of ignition prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine

• If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit.

•Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops due to lack of fuel.

•Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possible malfunction of engine.

• Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover.

• Fuel stabilizers, such as STA-BIL®, are an accept- able alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Do not drain carburetor if using a fuel stabilizer.

The inclusion of easy-start technology allows for quick, hassle-free starts, making lawn maintenance less of a chore.

In terms of cutting capabilities, MTD models feature precision-engineered blades designed for superior cutting performance. Users can expect clean, even cuts thanks to the advanced cutting deck designs which promote better airflow and grass discharge. Some models offer adjustable cutting heights, providing versatility for different grass types and conditions.

Ergonomic design is another significant feature of the MTD series. Models like the S240 and S250 come with comfort-conscious handles and controls, reducing fatigue during extended use. Additionally, several models feature intuitive controls that allow users to easily manage speed and cutting height adjustments right at their fingertips.

Durability is a hallmark of the MTD brand, with robust frame construction and weather-resistant components designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor operation. This durability extends to the lawn tractors and riding mowers in the lineup, which boast reinforced designs that enhance longevity and reduce maintenance needs.

Certain models, such as the S260 and S261, incorporate advanced technology such as integrated mulching capabilities and bagging systems. This allows for efficient lawn management, as clippings can be processed and reused as natural fertilizer for the lawn or collected for disposal.

Furthermore, the MTD series is well-regarded for its user-friendly features, including easy-to-access maintenance points and large fuel tanks for extended operation time without frequent refueling.

In conclusion, the MTD 230, 250, 240 series, and their S counterparts represent a blend of cutting-edge technology, comfort, and durability.
