SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: To seal punctures or prevent flat tires due to slow
ENGINE SPEED
leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts
dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above
the factory high speed setting can be  dangerous and will
void the warranty.  If you think  the engine-governed high
speed needs adjusting, contact a qualified service center,
which has proper equipment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.
ENGINE
See engine manual.
CARBURETOR
Your  carburetor is  not  adjustable.  Engine  performance
should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet (2,134
meters). If your engine  does not operate properly due  to
suspected carburetor  problems, take your snow  thrower
to a qualified service center.
STORAGE
Immediately prepare your unit for storage at the end of the
season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more.
Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting
it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
Never use  engine or  carburetor cleaner products  in
the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
WARNING:   Never   store   the   snow
throwerwithgasolineinthetankinside
a building where fumes may  reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light as on a
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or
gasappliance. Allowtheenginetocool
before storing in any enclosure.
Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE:  Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min-
imizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the  mix ratio found on stabilizer  container.
Run engine at  least 10 minutes after adding  stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not drain the
gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE
See engine manual.
FUEL SYSTEM
If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover
it to protect it from dust and dirt.
Cover your  snow  thrower with  a suitable  protective
cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
Plastic cannot breathe, which allows condensation to
form and will cause your snow thrower to rust.
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,
fuel hose,  or tank during  storage. Also, 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.
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/ex-
haust area is still warm.
