Check the Tire Pressure
WARNING
Explosion hazard
Over-inflation of tires can cause them to explode, which
could result in serious injury.
Do not inflate the tires above the maximum pressure.
Tire pressure should be checked regularly. Recommended
tire pressure changes by tire manufacturer. A good rule of
thumb is to inflate the tire up to, but not more than, the “Max
Inflation” stamped on the side-wall of the tire.
Storage
19
Off-Season Storage
At the end of the season, or when the unit is in storage for
more than 30 days, complete the steps that follow.
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and its vapors are explosive.
Fumes can move to a distant ignition source and an
explosion and/or fire can result.
If fuel is in the tank, do not keep the unit indoors or
in poorly ventilated areas where fumes could reach
sparks, open flames, pilot lights, heat, and other ignition
sources.
Snowthrower
Clean the unit. Make sure that all nuts, bolts, and screws
are tightened.
Examine visible moving parts for damage, breakage,
and wear. Replace if necessary.
Lubricate the control lever linkages, chute and
deflector, auger assembly, and drive wheel axles.
SeeMaintenance and Adjustments.
For rusted or chipped paint surfaces, sand lightly and
apply touch-up paint.
For unpainted or bare metal surfaces, apply a rust
preventative product.
Keep the unit indoors and cover it. If kept outdoors,
cover it with a heavy tarpaulin.
Return the unit to Service
Contact an Authorized Service Dealer for annual
maintenance tasks. SeeMaintenance Schedule.
Inspect engine oil level and add oil, if necessary.
Fill the fuel tank with clean fuel.
Check tire pressures.
Make sure that all guards, shields, and covers are
attached.
Make sure that all fasteners are tightened.
Inspect the auger and impeller control, and the traction
drive control.
Storage - Fuel System
Fuel can become stale when kept in a storage container for
more than 30 days. Each time you fill the container with fuel,
addSTA-BIL 360°®PROTECTION™to the fuel as specified
by the manufacturer’s instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and
decreases fuel-related problems or contamination in the fuel
system.
It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine whenSTA-
BIL 360°®PROTECTION™is added as instructed. Before
storage, turn the engine ON for 2 minutes to move the fuel
and stabilizer through the fuel system.
