Whats your off season Auger Preparation ?

[clm]

straight from the eskimo owners manual. this is what i do.

Steps for Long term Storage

1. Add fuel stabilizer according to manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Run engine for 10-15 minutes to ensure that the stabilizer reaches the carburetor.

3. Remove the remainder of the fuel from the gas tank into an approved fuel container.

4. Remove auger from powerhead and apply a thin layer of grease

to the output shaft (8913).

5. Store auger and powerhead (engine) in a vertical position.

6. Remove all debris from auger and powerhead (engine).

7. Attach blade protector to bottom of auger.

I run it till it's out of gas then pull out spark plug and spray with fogging oil and hang up till next winter.

Dump the gas and run it until it dies.

I spray wd40 on the entire machine.

Typically most 2stroke oil have stabilizer additives mixed in. So my plan is to just run it a few times each season change.

Make sure I have some stabil in the gas and start it the first time every month I mow the lawn. Sure does get the neighbors looking.

Unscrew the propane tank and hang it in the shed...
