Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting
it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
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.

FUEL SYSTEM
•
•
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
carburetor, fuel hose, or tank during storage. Alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-
nol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can dam-
age the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/
exhaust area is still warm.
