PROCEDURE
Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for directions
regarding engine storage preparations. Prepare the snow
thrower for “end of season” storage as follows:
1. Drain fuel from fuel tank and let engine run until
all fuel is out of the carburetor.
2. Disconnect and remove the spark plug wire
away from spark plug before any other
preparations are made!
3. Tape all openings closed to prevent spraying
water into exhaust or air intakes during washing.
4. Tilt snow thrower up on its wheels and
thoroughly clean the underside of the
auger/impeller.
5. Lubricate all exposed metal with a light coating
of oil to prevent corrosion.
6. Store the machine in a shed or other dry area,
protected from weather.
