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 engine
Engines stored over 30 days need to be drained of fuel to prevent
deterioration and gum from forming in fuel system or on essential
carburetor parts. If the gasoline in your engine deteriorates during
storage, you may need to have the carburetor, and other fuel system
components, serviced or replaced.
1.
Remove all fuel from tank by running engine until it stops. Do not
attempt to pour fuel from the engine.
2.
Change the engine oil.
3.
Remove spark plug and pour approximately 1 oz. (30 ml) of clean
engine oil into the cylinder. Pull the recoil starter several times to
distribute the oil, and reinstall the spark plug.

Clean debris from around engine, and under, around, and behind
muffler. Apply a light film of oil on any areas that are susceptible
to rust.

Store in a clean, dry and well ventilated area away from any ap-
pliance that operates with a flame or pilot light, such as a furnace,
water heater, or clothes dryer. Avoid any area with a spark
producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated.
Warning
Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoors or in poorly venti-
lated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot
light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance.
