Storage

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.

Observe 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. Extinguish cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources of ignition prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.

•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 acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Do not drain carburetor if using a fuel stabilizer.

•Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.

•Remove spark plug and pour one ounce of engine oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with rag. Crank engine several times to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.

•Follow the lubrication recommendations found in the Maintenance Section.

•Always store the snow thrower in a clean, dry area.
