SECTION 7: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
WARNING: Never store engine with fuel in
tank indoors or in enclosed, 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.
• Clean snow thrower thoroughly.
• Lubricate as instructed in the Maintaining Your Snow
Thrower section on page 10 of this manual.
• Refer to the Tecumseh Engines manual packed
with the snow thrower for detailed instructions
regarding all engine-related storage instructions.
• Store the snow thrower in a clean, dry area.
• Place blocks under the front of the auger housing
so that the snow thrower is not resting on the
rubber auger paddles. The rubber can become
misshaped if it supports the weight of the snow
thrower for several months of storage.
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in
an poorly ventilated or metal storage shed, care should
be taken to rustproof the equipment, especially springs,
cables and all moving parts.
