If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, or if it is the end of the snow season when the last pos­sibility of snow is gone, the equipment needs to be stored properly. Follow storage instructions below to ensure top performance from the snow thrower for many more years.
7
Off-Season
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.
Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.
Preparing Engine
NOTE: Refer to the engine manual for more detailed information on preparing the snow thrower engine for storage.
Short-Term Storage
It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts of the engine such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during short-term storage (15-30 days). To prevent this, treat the fuel system using a fuel stabilizer.
Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL™ or ULTRA-FRESH™) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow it to reach the carburetor.
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.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or
methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
Preparing Snow Thrower
• When storing the snow thrower in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rustproof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains, springs, bearings and cables.
• Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment.
• Follow lubrication recommendations.
• Store equipment in a clean, dry area.
Never use engine or carbu­retor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
Long-Term Storage
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer.
WARNING: Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems.
1. Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel. Do not attempt to pour fuel from the engine.
WARNING: Never use engine or carbu­retor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
2. Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of engine oil through the spark plug hole into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with a rag and crank the engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace spark plug.
