If the snow thrower will not be used for 30 days or longer, 
the equipment needs to be stored properly. Follow storage 
instructions below to ensure top performance from the snow 
thrower for many more years.

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 short-term storage (15-30 days). To 
prevent this, treat the fuel system using a fuel stabilizer. 
Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL™ or ULTRA-FRESH™) 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.

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.

Engines stored over 30 days need to be drained of fuel to 
prevent deterioration and gum from forming in fuel system 
or on essential carburetor parts. If the gasoline in your engine 
deteriorates during storage, you may need to have the 
carburetor, and other fuel system components, serviced or 
replaced.
1. 

Remove all of the fuel from the fuel tank by running the 
engine until the fuel tank is empty and it stops due to lack 
of fuel. Do not attempt to pour fuel from the engine.

2. 

Change the engine oil as instructed in the Maintenance 
section of the Engine Operator’s Manual included with the 
snow thrower.

3. 

Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce (30 ml) of 
clean engine oil through the spark plug hole and into the 
cylinder. Cover spark plug hole with a rag and crank the 
engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace spark 
plug.

Never use engine or carburetor 

cleaning products in the fuel tank or permanent 
damage may occur.

Clean debris from around engine, and under, around, and behind 
muffler. Apply a light film of oil on any areas that are susceptible 
to rust.
• 

Store in a clean, dry and well ventilated area away from any 
appliance that operates with a flame or pilot light, such as a 
furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Avoid any area with 
a spark producing electric motor, or where power tools are 
operated.

• 

If possible, avoid storage areas with high humidity.

• 

Keep the engine level in storage. Tilting can cause fuel or 
oil leakage.
