STORAGE

WARNING: Read and
understand the Safety section
before proceeding.

SHORT TERM

1. Tighten all hardware to correct
specifications.
2. Inspect unit for visible signs of wear or
damage. Repair as needed.
3. Apply a light layer of oil or anti-rust
compound on bare metal areas.
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 Ariens fuel stabilizer (see Service
Parts on page 17) 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. Close fuel valve and allow engine to stop
on its own.
6. Turn engine key to off position.
7. Store unit in a cool, dry, protected area.
Do not store unit outdoors.

low-pressure water.

high-pressure water.
