Off-Season Storage

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.
Preparing The Snow Thrower
1. 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.
2. Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and equipment.
3. Follow lubrication recommendations in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
4. Store equipment in a clean, dry area.
Preparing The Engine
IMPORTANT:
Refer to the engine operator's manual
included with the snow thrower for complete engine servicing
instructions.
