Well guys,
Being a man of faith........I'm going to take a leap here and assume that I will not need the snowblower anymore this season.
This is what I have done or will do to put it away for the summer.
I'm posting this so all you smarter OPE people here could tell me if I should do anything more or different....
Cleaned, waxed everything.
Drained gas out of it, put new STABILIZED WITH PRI-G gas in tank.
Took sparkplug out, looked at it, (it was kinda black), cleaned it. Sprayed fogging oil in cylinder hole, pulled rope a few times, reinstalled sparkplug.
Oil was still pretty new, but will change it again in the fall with new 5-30 synthetic.
Should I grease anything? Should I buy that "red" grease Ariens recommends and do anything to the inside gears, friction disk, or anything?
Should I store it on blocks to take any pressure off the tires?
Should I do anything to the battery? {I bought a small Schumacher Battery charger/maintainer for it, but never even used it this year.)
What else should I do to it? I was thinking about buying a small amount of touch up paint for the very few places inside the chute/impeller area that is chipped from normal use.
You all know the motto we on this forum live by....
TAKE CARE OF YOUR STUFF AND THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU.Thanks guys!
