We
recommend using a stabilizer/conditioner (such as
Lawn-Boy 2+4
r
Fuel Conditioner
) for all Lawn-Boy
gasoline–powered products during operation and
storage. A fuel stabilizer/conditioner cleans the engine
during operation and prevents gum-like deposits from
forming in the engine during storage. A fuel
stabilizer/conditioner works best when you mix it with
fresh gasoline.
IMPORTANT
: Do not use fuel additives except a fuel
stabilizer during storage. Do not use fuel stabilizers
with an alcohol base such as ethanol, methanol, or
isopropanol.

Controls
The
snowthrower control panel contains a key switch, a
primer
, an electric start button (electric start models only),
