that throws snow. Fingers or feet can quickly become
caught in the rotating auger or impeller resulting in traumatic
amputation or severe laceration.

and remove the ignition key or push/pull key before
maintenance or repairs.
The scraper bar will gradually wear and need replacement.

push/pull key.

remove the scraper bar (C).

Checking Tire Pressure

Tire pressure should be checked periodically. Recommended
tire pressure varies by tire manufacturer. A good rule of
thumb is to inflate the tire up to, but not exceeding, the "Max
Inflation" stamped on the sidewall of the tire.

Storage

Storage - Fuel System

Fuel can become stale when kept in a storage container for
more than 30 days. Each time you fill the container with fuel,
®
add STA-BIL 360° PROTECTION™ to the fuel as specified
by the manufacturer's instructions. This keeps fuel fresh and
decreases fuel-related problems or contamination in the fuel
system.
It is not necessary to drain fuel from the engine when STA-
®
BIL 360° PROTECTION™ is added as instructed. Before
