If only partially filled, air in the tank will promote fuel deterioration during storage. If you keepacontainer of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it containsonly fresh gasoline. Add fuel stabilizer following the manufacturer's instructions. After adding a fuel stabilizer, run the engine outdoors for 10minutes to be sure that treated gasoline has replaced the untreated gasoline in the carburetor. Stop the engine, and move the fuel valve lever to the OFF position. 54 STORAGE ~ Draining the Fuel Tank and Carburetor 1. Place an approved gasoline container below the carburetor, and use a funnel to avoid spilling fuel. 2. Loosen the carburetor drain knob, then move the fuel valve lever to the ON position. Drain the until the fuel tank is empty. Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive. You can be burned or seriously injured when handling fuel. Keep heat, sparks,and flame away. Handle fuel only outdoors. Wipe up spills immediately. 3. After draining, tighten the drain knob and turn the fuel valve OFF. 4. Remove the fuel sediment cup. . 5. Empty the contents into a suitable container. Clean the fuel sediment cup. SEDIMENT CUP 6. Reinstall the sediment cup and O-ring and tighten securely. 55 STORAGE Engine Oil 1. Change the engine oil (page 41). 2. Remove the spark plug (page 45). 3. Pour a tablespoon (5 -10 cc) of clean engine oil into the cylinder. 4. Pull the starter rope slowly several times to distribute the oil. 5. Reinstall the spark plug. 6. Pull the starter grip until resistance STARTER GRIP is felt. This will close the valves and protect the engine from internal corrosion. Tires Check tire air pressure (page 48). STORAGE STORAGE PRECAUTIONS If your snowblower will be stored with gasoline in the fuel tank and carburetor, it is important to reduce the hazard of gasoline vapor ignition. Select a well- ventilated storage area away from any appliance that operates with a flame, ~ such as a furnace, water heater, or clothes dryer. Also avoid any area with a spark-producing electric motor, or where power tools are operated. . Ifpossible, avoid storage areas with high humidity, because that promotes rust and corrosion. Unless all fuel has been drained from the fuel tank, leave the fuel valve in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. Place the snowblower on a level surface. Tilting can cause fuel or oil leakage. With the engine and exhaust system cool, cover the snowblower to keep out dust. A hot engine and exhaust system can ignite or melt some materials. Do not use sheet plastic as a dust cover. A nonporous cover will trap moisture around the engine, promoting rust and corrosion. REMOVE FROM STORAGE Check your snowblower as described in the BEFORE OfERATlONchapter (page 18) of this manual. If the fuel was drained during storage preparation, fill the tank with fresh gasoline. If you keep a container of gasoline for refueling, be sure that it contains only fresh gasoline. Gasoline oxidizes and deteriorates over time, causing hard starting. If the cylinder was coated with oil during storage preparation, the engine may smoke briefly at startup. This is normal. TRANSPORTING BEFORE LOADING 1. Loading the snowblower on a trailer should be performed ona firm, level surface. 2. Use a loading ramp that is strong enough to support the combined weight of the snowblower and the operator: Weight of snowblower : (Operating weight) HS624 HS828 TA: 185 Ibs (84 kg) TA: 245 Ibs (1 11 kg) TAS: 256 Ibs (1 16 kg) WA: 194 Ibs (88 kg) WA:220 Ibs (100 kg) WAS:231 Ibs (105 kg) HS724 HS928 TA: 207 Ibs (94 kg) TA: 245 Ibs (1 11 kg) TAS: 256 Ibs (1 16 kg) WA:212 Ibs (96 kg) WA:225 Ibs (102 kg) WAS:231 Ibs (105 kg) I HS1132 I ~~ TA: 267 Ibs (1 21 kg) I TAS:273 Ibs (124 kg) -1 3. The loading ramp must be long enough so that its slope is 15" or less: I 1 I 1.6ft 2.0ft 2.3ft Height (h) (50 cm) (60 cm) (70 cm) 4. If the truck bed has a low roofor cover, with less than 4.9 ft (1.5 m) of headroom, lower the chute guide for better clearance, or remove the chute assembly. 5. Check that there is sufficient fuel in the tank. The engine may stall on the ramp if there is not enough fuel in the tank. TRANSPORTING LOADING 1. Step on the foot pedal, and raise the auger to the HIGH position (page 14). 2. Maneuver the snowblower into line with the loading ramp. 3. Run the snowblower slowly up the loading ramp. Be careful to avoid striking the chute or other parts of the machine. I DOWN I/ FORWARD 4. After the snowblower is in the truck, stop the engine, and turn the fuel valve to the OFF position. This will prevent the possibility of carburetor flooding and will reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. 5. Tie the snowblower down with rope or straps, and block the treads. Keep the tie-down rope or straps away from controls and cables. TAKING CARE OF UNEXPECTED PROBLEMS ENGINE PROBLEMS Electric starter does not operate Check electrical outlet. Check power cord.
