Before Starting Engine
Fill Gas
WARNING: Gasoline is flammable and cau-
tionmustbe used when handling or storing it.
Do not fillfuel tank while the snow thrower is
running, when it ishot or when itis inan
enclosed area.
Keep your snow thrower away from any
open flame or an electrical spark and do not
smoke while fillingthe fuel tank.
Never fill the fuel tank completely. Fill the
tank to within 1/4"-1/2" from the top to
provide space for expansion of fuel.
Always fill the fuel tank outdoors and use a
funnel or spout to prevent spilling.
Make sure to wipe off any spilled fuel before
starting the engine.
• Store gasoline in a clean, approved container
and keep the cap in place on the container.
• Make sure that the container from which you
pour the gasoline is clean and free from rust or
other foreign particles.
• Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded grade
automotive gasoline.
• At the end of the job, empty the fuel tank if the
snow thrower is not going to be used for 30 days
or longer. See storage instructions on of this
manual.
CAUTION: Experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol) or those using etha-
nol 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.
Toavoid engine problems, the fuel system should be

Preparing Engine
WARNING: Never store snow thrower with
fuel in tank indoors or in poorly ventilated
areas, where fuel fumes may reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace,
water heater, clothes dryer or gas
appliance.
It is important to prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts of the
engine such as the carburetor, fuel filter,
fuel hose or tank during storage.
Also experience indicates that 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.
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system shouldbe
emptiedbefore storage for 30 days or longer. Follow
these instructions to prepare your snow thrower for
storage:
• Remove all gasoline from the carburetor and the
fuel tank to prevent gum deposits from forming
on these parts and causing possible malfunction
of the engine.
Bowl Drain
Figure 31
WARNING: Drain fuel into approved
container outdoors, away from any open
flame. Be certain engine is cool. Do not
smoke.
Fuel left in engine during warm weather
deteriorates and will cause serious starting
problems,
Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and it
stops due to lack of fuel.
Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl
drain, located below the carburetor cover. See
Figure 31.
&
WARNING: Do not drain carburetor if using
fuel stabilizer. Never use engine or
carburetor cleaning products in the fuel tank
or permanent damage may occur.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an
acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to
gasoline in fuel tank or storage container. Always
follow mix ratio found on stabilizer container. Run
engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow it to reach the carburetor. Do not drain
carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
• Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce
of engine oil through the spark plug hole into the
cylinder. Crank the engine several times to
distribute the oil. Replace spark plug.
Preparing Snow Thrower
• When storingthe snow thrower inan
unventilated or metal storage shed, care should
be taken to rustproofthe equipment. Using a
lightoilor silicone, coatthe equipment,
especially any chains, springs,bearings and
cables.
Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and
equipment.
Follow lubrication recommendations on.
