SECTION 8: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
WARNING: Never store engine with fuel in tank indoors or in enclosed, poorly ventilated areas where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer, or other gas appliance.
•Clean snow thrower thoroughly.
•Lubricate as instructed above with a light oil.
•Follow “Storage” instructions found in the separate
Engine Operator’s Manual. Preparing the engine for storage properly is important to prevent problems next season.
•Store in a clean, dry area. Block the snow thrower up so it is not resting on the rubber auger blades.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an poorly ventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof the equipment, especially springs, cables and all moving parts.
