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 pos-  
sibility 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.  
Preparing Engine  
Preparing Snow Thrower  
NOTE: Refer to the engine manual for more detailed  
information on preparing the snow thrower engine for  
storage.  
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.  
Off-Season  
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 stabalizer.  
Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment.  
Follow lubrication recommendations.  
Store equipment in a clean, dry area.  
Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BILor 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
