If the auger stalls or the chute plugs, push down the
auger drive control IMMEDIATELY.
Pull the speed con¬
trol all of the way back to stop the engine, and remove the
foreign object or spout blockage, CAUTION: Always stop
the engine before working near or on the auger or spout
SHUT DOWN AND STORAGE
After the clearing job is finished the Sno-Away should
be transported to a sheltered area.
Set the transmission lever and auger drive control in
the neutral positon and run the engine at slow speed for
about 5 minutes to melt and dry up the snow in hidden
areas of the Sno-Away to prevent icing, CAUTION:
DO
NOT RUN ENGINE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA.
Allow the Sno-Away to cool about 5 minutes and fill
the fuel tank to reduce condensation during storage.
SUMMER STORAGE
Your engine owners manual and the maintenance sec¬
tion of this manual cover the details of preparation for ex¬
tended storage. Here are some additional suggestions.
The engine should be run out of fuel, the crankcase
drained and refilled.
Remove the spark plug, and pour
about 2 tablespoons of oil into the sparkplug hole. Crank
the engine about 6 pulls and replace the spark ping.
Wash the Sno-Away thoroughly to remove dirt and
salt, and wipe it dry. Go over exposed areas with an oily
rag or use automotive wax to preserve its appearance.
Your Sno-Away has a u n ique feature - it can be stored
on the front to reduce floor area required by about .40%.
The fuel tank must be empty but the oil need not be drain¬
ed for storage in this position.
