8. Storage
Storage preparation
Proper preparation for long term storage is essential for keeping your snow blower free from rust
corrosion and prevent part and function to parts impair. The following steps will make the engine
easier to start after storage and prevent your snow blower from rusting during long term period.
Cleaning
If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour before cleaning. Clean all
exterior surfaces, seal up any damaged paint, and coat other areas that may rust with a light film of
oil.
•
Using a garden hose or high-pressure cleaner can force water into the air cleaner or muffler
opening. Water in the air cleaner will soak the air filter, and water that passes through the
air filter or muffler can enter the cylinder, causing damage.
•
Water contacting a hot engine can cause damage and in worst case crack the aluminum
parts in the engine. If the engine has been running, allow it to cool for at least half an hour
before washing.
