Chute Control
Once a season or every 25 hours of operation, 
whichever is earlier, check whether the chute control 
cables have slackened. If the chute does not rotate fully 
or its pitch cannot be moved up or down, the chute 
control cables will have to be adjusted. 
To adjust these cables, proceed as follows:
1.
To tighten cable, loosen the top nut and tighten the 
bottom nut on the cable.
2.
Adjust equally on both sides by working on all 
cables. See Figure 24.

SECTION 5:  OFF-SEASON STORAGE
If your snow thrower is left unused for 30 days or 
longer, it needs to be prepared for storage. Proper 
storage ensures longer life of the snow thrower.
Preparing For Storage
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.
Fuel left in engine during warm weather deteriorates 
and will cause serious starting problems. To avoid such 
problems, the fuel system should be emptied before 
storage for 30 days or longer. 
NOTE: 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.
1.
Remove gasoline from the carburetor and the fuel 
tank to prevent gum deposit in the engine.
2.
Run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and it 
stops due to lack of fuel.
3.
Remove the spark plug and pour one (1) ounce of 
engine oil through the spark plug hole into the 
cylinder. Place a rag over the hole. Crank the 
engine several times to distribute the oil. Replace 
spark plug.
NOTE: Follow the engine manual to further prepare the
snow thrower engine for storage.
4.
When storing the snow thrower in an unventilated 
or metal storage shed, rustproof the equipment. 
Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, 
especially any chains, springs, bearings and 
cables.
5.
Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and 
equipment.
6.
Follow lubrication recommendations on page 12.
7.
Store snow thrower in a clean, dry area.

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.
WARNING: Drain fuel into approved container 
outdoors, away from any open flame. Be 
certain engine is cool. Do not smoke.
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.
