Drain carburetor by pressing upward on bowl drain,  
located below the carburetor cover.  
WARNING: Drain fuel into an approved  
container outdoors, away from open flame.  
Allow engine to cool. Extinguish cigarettes,  
cigars, pipes, and other sources of ignition  
prior to draining fuel. Fuel left in engine for  
extended period deteriorates and will cause  
serious starting problems.  
Augers  
The augers are secured to the spiral shaft with two  
shear bolts and hex lock nuts. Refer to Figure 14. If you  
hit a foreign object or ice jam, the snow thrower is  
designed so that the bolts may shear. If the augers will  
not turn, check to see if the bolts have sheared.  
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer 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 carburetor. Do  
not drain carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.  
IMPORTANT: NEVER replace the auger shear bolts with  
standard hex bolts. Any damage to the auger gearbox  
or other components as a result of doing so will NOT be  
covered by your snow throwers warranty.  
Off-season Storage  
Remove all dirt from exterior of engine and  
equipment.  
WARNING: Never store the machine or fuel  
container indoors where there is an open  
flame, spark or pilot light such as on a water  
heater, furnace, clothes dryer or other gas  
appliances.  
Remove spark plug and pour one ounce of engine  
oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Cover  
spark plug hole with rag. Crank engine several  
times to distribute oil. Replace spark plug.  
Follow lubrication recommendations on page 11.  
If unit is to be stored over 30 days, prepare for storage  
as follows:  
NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in  
an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be  
taken to rust proof the equipment. Using a light oil or  
silicone, coat the equipment, especially any chains,  
springs, bearings and cables.  
Remove gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to  
prevent gum deposits from forming on these parts  
and causing possible malfunction of engine.  
Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine  
stops due to lack of fuel.
