STORAGE

SHORT-TERM STORAGE

IMPORTANT: NEVER wash unit with high-
pressure water or store outdoors.
1. Allow unit to cool and clean with mild
soap and water.
2. Tighten all hardware to correct
specifications.
3. Inspect unit for visible signs of wear or
damage. Repair as needed.
4. Prepare fuel system for storage.
NOTICE: Ariens recommends using a quality
fuel stabilizer in all fuel. Gasoline left in the
fuel system without a stabilizer, even for short
periods of time, deteriorates and leaves
gummy deposits in the system that may
damage the carburetor and fuel hoses, filter
and tank. For the best effectiveness, add
stabilizer to all fuel containers whenever
purchasing fuel. Add the stabilizer to the
container before adding fuel.
a. Add fuel stabilizer (see Service Parts
on page 15) or equivalent according
to manufacturer's instructions to the
fuel tank and any fuel containers with
remaining fuel.
b. Run engine outdoors for at least
5 minutes to allow stabilizer to reach
the carburetor.
5. Turn ignition key to off position and
remove from ignition.
6. Store unit in a cool, dry, protected area.
DO NOT store unit outdoors.

LONG-TERM STORAGE

1. Perform short-term storage procedures.
2. Lubricate as directed in Maintenance on
page 14.
3. Touch-up all scratched painted surfaces.
4. Remove and charge battery. Refer to
your unit's Service Manual. Store battery
in a cool, dry, protected area.
5. Store unit in a cool, dry, protected area.
Do not store unit outdoors.
START-OF-SEASON
PREPARATION
