STORAGE
• Thoroughly clean the snow thrower.
• Lubricate all the lubrication points (see
the Maintenance
section, page 8).
• Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are
securely fastened. Inspect all visible
moving parts for
damage, breakage and
wear. Replace if necessary.
• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint
surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
• Cover the bare metal parts of the blower
housing and auger with rust preventative,
such as a spray lubricant.

OTHER
• Store the snow thrower indoors in a
clean, dry, locked-up place out of reach
of children.
• Store the extension cord with the snow
thrower to prevent misplacement.
• Inspect the snow thrower thoroughly for
worn, loose or damaged parts. Make all
necessary repairs before storing snow
thrower.
• Inspect extension cord thoroughly for
signs of excess wear or damage. If worn
or damaged, replace with a U.L. listed
cord suitable for outdoor use in cold
weather.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up at a
Craftsman Service Center is a good way of
ensuring that your snow thrower will provide
maximum performance for the next season.
