OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL FOR TIER 4 SNOW
BLOWER MODELS: RPM215, RPM217, RPM220/36R, RPM40R,

OUTDOOR STORAGE
Whenever the blower is used at a temperature above freezing (0° Celsius, 32° Fahrenheit) in heavy
wet snow, it is imperative to remove any accumulated snow and ice that is stuck in the blower
workings prior to overnight outdoor storage (or any inactive period longer than 2 hours). This will help
avoid mechanical freeze-up if the weather turns cold.
The same approach is suggested even if the blower is used in colder temperatures. Remove
accumulated snow and ice prior to outdoor storage during any cold weather period
