WARNING: Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,away from any open flame. Be certain engine iscool. Do not smoke. If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, or at the end of the snow season when the last possibility of snow is gone, the equipment needs to be stored properly. Follow storage instructionsbelow to ensure top performance from the snow thrower for many more years. Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates and will cause serious starting problems. Preparing Engine A Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and it stops due to lack of fuel. Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain, located below the carburetor cover. See Figure 36. WARNING: Never store snow thrower with fuel in tank indoorsor in poorlyventilated areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or gas appliance. & It is importantto prevent gum deposits from forming in essential fuel system parts of the engine such as the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose or tank during storage. Also experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptiedbefore storage for 30 days or longer. Follow these instructions to prepare your snow thrower for storage: Remove all gasoline from the carburetor and the fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts and harming the engine. WARNING: Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. Never use engine or carburetor cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) 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. Do not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of engine oil through the spark plug hole into the cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with a rag and crank the engine several times to distribute the oil.
