Yesterday, I put my Craftsman 52993 snow blower ( pictures under the heading "my snowblower picture " Mar31, 2011) in the barn for summer storage. Outside on the driveway, .I washed off the auger and impeller casings with the garden hose and let it dry in the sun. I used a car paste wax on all the painted surfaces, I got a spray can of light oil at Canadian Tire and sprayed the inside of the auger and impeller casings , including the auger and impeller .all the bare metal control rods and the skid plates.
I filled it up with gas and put 10ml of Sta-bil in the gas tank, I run it for about 10 minutes , then changed the oil, It only had a few hours on it, ( I had changed it the first time when it had 5 hours on it., )Again I used Mobil 1 5/30 , I lightly lubed the discharge and the deflector drive control levers, .the hydro lever and the drive speed and traction drive control levers Checked the heated grips . I started it up again and drove it up the ramp into the barn. Then I removed the sparkplug and put just a few drops of the same motor oil in the sparkplug hole , pulled it over a few times and put the sparkplug back in . then I put on the breathable snow blower cover . Did I forget anything?
