SECTION 8: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
• If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare engine
for storage as instructed in the engine manual.
• Remove all debris from the exterior of equipment.
• Follow lubrication recommendations on page 13.
• Always store the snow thrower in a clean, dry area.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in
an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be
taken to rust proof the equipment. Using a light oil or
silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains,
springs, bearings and cables.
If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage
as follows:
• Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to
prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts
and causing possible malfunction of engine.
• Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine
stops due to lack of fuel.
• Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain,
located below the carburetor cover.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in
minimizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during
storage. Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
• Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.
• Remove spark plug and pour one ounce of engine
oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Cover
spark plug hole with rag. Crank engine several
times to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.

WARNING: Never store engine 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 other gas appliance.
WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved
container outdoors, away from an open flame.
Allow engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes,
cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition prior
to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine for extended
periods deteriorates and will cause starting
problems.
