OFF-SEASON STORAGE

Before you store your snowthrower for the off-season, read the Maintenance and Storage instructions in the Safety Rules section and take the following precautions:

NOTE: Gasoline, if permitted to stand unused for extend- ed periods (30 days or longer), may develop gummy deposits which can adversely affect the engine carburetor and cause engine malfunction. To avoid this condition, add Simplicity Gasoline Stabilizer to the fuel tank, or drain all fuel from the system before placing unit in storage.

1.Prepare your snowthrower engine for storage as instructed in the Engine Owner’s Manual.

2.Lubricate the snowthrower as described in the LUBRI- CATION section of this manual (page 13).

3.Clean the snowthrower thoroughly. Coat exposed bare metal parts with a quality paint (available from your dealer) or a light film of grease, oil or automotive wax.

4.Store snowthrower in the wheels down, operating position. Note: If the unit is stored in any other posi- tion, oil from crankcase could enter cylinder head, causing a service problem.

5.Store the unit in a protected area and cover.

STARTING AFTER STORAGE

1.Remove the spark plug and wipe dry. Crank the engine a few times to blow excess oil out of plug hole. Then reinstall plug.

2.Fill fuel tank with fresh gasoline (unless a fuel stabiliz- er was used).

3.Check to be sure engine fins are clean and air flow is unobstructed.

4.Check engine oil level and lubricate snowthrower. Change oil if necessary.

5.Start the engine outdoors. Warm up engine by run- ning at SLOW speed for a a few minutes before run- ning at FAST speed, or blowing snow.

6.Check the operation of all the controls. If necessary, lubricate the snowthrower to improve operation of the chute control.

CHECK AUGER

GEAR CASE LUBRICATION

1.Place the snowthrower on a level surface.

2.Remove the Pipe Plug (Figure 13).

3.Check the lubricant level. It should be level with the lower edge of the plug opening. If not, add Simplicity Winter Weight Worm Gear Oil (available from your dealer).

4. Re-install Pipe Plug, and tighten securely.
