Logan, our STIHL Department Lead, shows us how to prepare your power equipment for summer. He shows us his tips & tricks to store snow blowers, chainsaws, leaf blowers and trimmers.
If you have any questions about STIHL power equipment, be sure to visit us at HomCo Lumber and Hardware! Experience for yourself why we’re called the friendliest place in town! Our team of experts would be happy to answer any questions you have about maintaining power equipment through the Flagstaff seasons.
How To Prepare Snow Blowers For Summer Storage
- Stabilize your pump gas. Dump about half of a fuel stabilizer bottle into a fresh tank of gas. Run your snow blower for about 10-15 minutes, so it circulates all the way through. This way, your snow blower will be ready to go the next time it snows, and no gunk will have built up.
- If you don’t have room to store your snow blower in a covered garage, be sure to use a snow blower cover when it is not in use. A cover will extend the life of your snow blower in our Arizona sun!
How To Prepare Chainsaws For Summer Use
- The most important thing is your fuel. Safely dump the gas in there if it’s not fresh and has degraded.
- Make sure your chain is sharp and lubricated correctly.
- Check your air filter for dust and debris.
- If you need a new air filter, spark plug or fuel filter, we sell STIHL Service Kits at HomCo. STIHL Service Kits are great to have on hand for last-minute power equipment fixes!
How To Prepare Leaf Blowers For Summer Use
- Check to make sure your fuel is good and hasn’t degraded over the winter months.
- Ensure there are no leaves or twigs in the outside fan area to continue to operate correctly.
- Use a STIHL Service Kit to clean the air filter if needed.
How To Prepare Trimmers For Summer Use
- Check to make sure your fuel is good and hasn’t degraded over the winter months.
- Check your cutting implements for wear and tear. The trimmer head, line and deflector should be in proper working order to keep you safe!
