2.Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger blades have stopped rotating.
3.Always use a clearing tool at least 15 inches long.
Maintenance and Storage
1.Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe working condition.
2.Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources are present such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.
3.Always refer to operator’s manual for important details if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended period.
