Storing the Machine

WARNING
• Gasoline fumes are highly flammable, explosive,
and dangerous if inhaled. If you store the
machine in an area with an open flame, the
gasoline fumes may ignite and cause an
explosion.
• Do not store the machine in a house (living
area), basement, or any other area where ignition
sources may be present, such as hot water and
space heaters, clothes dryers, furnaces, and
other like appliances.
Important: Do not use the chute handle to lift the
machine. This can damage the chute handle.
1. Add a fuel stabilizer/conditioner to the fuel in the
fuel tank as directed by the engine manufacturer.
2. Run the engine for 5 minutes to distribute the
conditioned fuel through the fuel system.
3. Stop the engine and allow it to cool.
4. Use a hand pump to pump the fuel from the fuel
tank into an approved fuel container, or run the
engine until it stops.
5. Start the engine and run it until it stops.
6. Choke or prime the engine, start it a third time, and
run the engine until it will not start.
7. Slowly pull the recoil starter until you feel resistance
due to compression pressure, then stop.
8. Release the starter tension gradually by allowing the
rope to go back slowly to prevent the engine from
the reversing due to compression pressure.
9. Dispose of unused fuel properly. Recycle it
accordingly to local codes, or use it in your
automobile.
Note: Do not store stabilized fuel for more than
90 days.
10. Clean the machine.
11. Tighten any loose fasteners. Repair or replace any
damaged parts.
