Troubleshooting - Kobalt A081002 Manual

SERVICE
Servicing requires extreme care and knowledge and should be performed only by a qualified
service technician. For service, it is suggested you return the product to your nearest AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER for repair. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
STORAGE
• Run the snow thrower for a few minutes in order to melt any snow that may be left on the snow
thrower.
• Wipe the snow thrower off with a dry cloth before storage. This will help prevent ice building up on
the unit and parts freezing.
• Inspect the snow thrower thoroughly for worn, loose, or damaged parts. If any parts must be
repaired or replaced, contact 1-888-356-2258.
• Store the snow thrower in a clean, dry place. Cover it in order to provide added protection.
