WARNING
Never store snow
thrower with fueJ
in tank indoors or
in poody 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,
Drain fuel into an
approved container
outdoors, away from
any open flame. Be
certain engine is
cool. Do nol smoke.
Fuel left in engine
during warm weather
deteriorates and will
cause serious
starting problems.
Do not drain

using fuel stabilizer.
Never use engine or
carburetor cleaning
products in the fuel
tank or permanent
damage may occur.
If thesnowthrowerwill not be usedfor 30 daysor longer,
orif it is the endof the snowseasonwhenthe lastpos=
sibilityof snowis gone,the equipmentneedsto be stored
properly.Followstorageinstructionsbelowto ensuretop
performancefromthe snowthrowerfor many moreyears.
Preparing Engine
WARNING: Never store snow
