Lubrication
• Lubricate pivot points on the control handle and the
extension spring at the end of the clutch cable with
a light oil once every season and before storage of
the snow thrower at the end of the season.
Engine
• Refer to the separate engine operator’s manual
packed with your snow thrower for all engine
maintenance procedures.
• Check engine and snow thrower frequently for
loose hardware, and tighten as needed.
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 above with a light oil.
• Follow “Storage” instructions in the Engine Manual.
• Store in a clean, dry area. Block the snow thrower
up so it is not resting on the rubber auger blades.
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.
