STORAGE
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
If your snowthrower will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and
carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor
ignition. Select a well-ventilated storage area away from any appliance
that operates with a flame, such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes
dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or
where power tools are operated.
If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because it
promotes rust and corrosion.
Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve
in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage.
Place the snowthrower on a level surface. Tilting can cause fuel or oil
leakage.
With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the snowthrower to
keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt
some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous
cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting rust and
corrosion.
REMOVAL FROM STORAGE
Check your snowthrower as described in the BEFORE OPERATION
chapter (page 11).
If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with
fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure
that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates
over time, causing hard starting.
If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the
engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal.
