STORAGE
Proper preparation for long term storage is essential for keeping your snow blower free from rust
corrosion and prevent part and function to parts impair. The following steps will make the engine
easier to start after storage and prevent your snow blower from rusting during long term storage.
Notice: The warranty does not cover damage on machine or engine as a result of incorrect
storage or negligence to comply with maintance recommendation and warning.
Cleaning
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean all
exterior surfaces, seal up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of
oil.
Caution: Using a garden hose or high-pressure cleaner can force water into the air cleaner or
muffler opening. Water in the air cleaner will soak the air filter, and water that passes through the
air filter or muffler can enter the cylinder, causing permantent damage.
Notice: Water directly on a hot engine can cause damage or worse crack the aluminum parts in
the engine. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before washing.
Fuel
Gasoline will oxidize and deteriorate during storage. Stale gasoline will cause hard starting, and
will leave gum deposits that will clog the fuel system.
Do not keep same gasoline in engine for more than 3 months!!!
Warning: Don’t start the engine with oxidize and deteriorate gasoline in the fuel tank, it may
damage the carburetor and other fuel system components !
Preparation for long term storage
We recommend to drain the fuel tank and carburator before longterm storeage. However adding a
fuel stabilizer can extend fuel service life.
Draining the fuel tank and carburetor
We recommend to drain the fuel tank first and herafter the carburetor.
