Properly cleaning and storing spring, summer, and fall equipment ahead of time will protect it from rust and corrosion and cut back on the amount of work you\u2019ll need to do come spring. Getting your winter equipment working ahead of time will reduce the stress of dealing with a winter storm and everything that can go along with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow our checklists to make sure you\u2019re fully prepared for winter\u2019s arrival!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prepping_Your_Outdoor_Equipment_for_Winter\"><\/span>Prepping Your Outdoor Equipment for Winter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mowers, trimmers, leaf blowers, and the like need a bit of work before you can stow them away for the winter. Here\u2019s a quick list of tasks for your reference:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Thoroughly clean all equipment.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Get rid of any mud, clumped grass, or other debris. On your mower, be sure to clean the undercarriage, as well. This will help prevent rust while your equipment is put away.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>If you have a chainsaw, clean and lubricate the chain before storage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to prevent rust or other damage. Not sure how to do that? You can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-clean-a-chainsaw\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check out our guide to cleaning a chainsaw<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and then <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-replace-a-chainsaw-chain\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have a look at our tutorial for replacing a chainsaw chain<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Remove any batteries, charge them, and store them<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> somewhere in a controlled climate. Don\u2019t store them on metal shelves. Doing this protects your equipment, the battery, and anything else stored around the battery from potential damage if the battery starts to corrode.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Drain and properly dispose of old oil. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some refuse collection services will pick up old oil for you, provided it\u2019s packaged correctly. You can also potentially take the used oil to a car service station or auto parts store \u2013 you\u2019ll have to look at what options are available in your area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Check and change any air filters, blades, or spark plugs, if necessary.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Now is a great time to take care of any annual service your equipment needs. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/category\/troubleshooting\/lawn-mower\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have a number of lawn mower maintenance tutorials ready to go on our blog to help you out.<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you aren\u2019t comfortable with doing it yourself, you can always get assistance from a small engine repair shop.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Don\u2019t forget to winterize gas-powered equipment. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid rust or damage to the carburetor, you\u2019ll want to deal with any unused gas left in your equipment.<\/span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add fuel stabilizer to the equipment\u2019s fuel tank and run the equipment to distribute the stabilizer through the fuel system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Turn your equipment off and allow it to cool completely.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At this point, you can siphon off excess gas into an appropriate <\/span><b>clean <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gas can for storage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether or not you siphoned gas, there will still be some fuel left over. Your last step is to run the equipment until it has emptied of all gas and stops on its own.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Store your equipment properly!<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Over winter, lawn equipment should be stored in a place that shields them from the elements, like a garage or shed. If your lawn equipment came with a case or a cover, now\u2019s the time to use it. This will keep moisture out, protecting your stuff from rust and corrosion.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Proper winter prep before storage ensures that your equipment will be in working order come springtime. If you take care of tasks like blade sharpening now, you\u2019ll also have less work to do before you can get to taking care of your lawn come April and May.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Winter_Checklist_Prepping_your_Snow_Blower_for_Winter\"><\/span>Winter Checklist: Prepping your Snow Blower for Winter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t wait for the night before the first big storm of the year to see if your snow blower is in working order. While you\u2019ve still got a bit of decent weather left, set aside about an hour and a half to take care of these tasks:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>If you didn\u2019t drain the fuel at the end of last year, start by making sure your snow blower runs. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leftover fuel \u2013 especially fuel that hasn\u2019t had a stabilizer added \u2013 can go stale, gumming up your blower\u2019s carburetor and causing rust. If you left gas in your snow thrower last year, your first step should be to make sure it starts up and doesn\u2019t sound rough. If it all checks out, you\u2019re in luck! Shut it off. It\u2019s time to get it prepped!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Move your snow blower to a flat, stable surface, and inspect it for damage. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the belts, the fuel tank, nuts and bolts, and shear pins if your blower is a multistage model. You may need to tighten down some loose bolts or replace something that\u2019s corroded or worn. Need a snow thrower part? We\u2019ve got you covered! <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/snow-removal-equipment-parts.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out AppliancePartsPros.com\u2019s list of snow removal equipment components on our website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We can ship to your door in as little as two days!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check the skid shoes and flip or replace them if needed.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Not all blowers have skid shoes, but the ones that do work best if they\u2019re running on a side with little wear. If you\u2019ve already flipped them once and there\u2019s wear on the other side, replace them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check the tires. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve got a brand new snow thrower with airless tires, this step may not be necessary, but otherwise, be sure to check your blower\u2019s tire air pressure. Even when properly stored, tire air pressure will fluctuate, so consult your blower\u2019s manual and top those tires off. You\u2019ll thank yourself later if you make sure you have the proper tire pressure now \u2013 it seriously improves handling.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check and change the oil if needed.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Use the dipstick to check the color and content of the oil. If it\u2019s dirty or especially dark, you\u2019ll need to change it out. Luckily, oil changes on most snow blowers are pretty easy. Consult your manual for specific instructions, but most snow blowers have an oil drain plug at the bottom. Drain the oil into a pan, replace the plug, and then fill it with fresh oil per the manufacturer\u2019s specs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Top off the fuel and give it one final test run.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Add some fresh fuel to top off the tank, test the equipment out to make sure it runs, and your snow thrower is ready to go!<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make sure walkways, driveways, and anywhere else you\u2019ll be using your snow blower is free of debris.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Before the snow starts piling up, pick up any branches or rocks and move them out of the path that you\u2019ll be clearing. This will protect your snow thrower from damage and you and your loved ones from potential injury.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Winter_Checklist_Getting_your_Generator_Ready_for_Winter\"><\/span>Winter Checklist: Getting your Generator Ready for Winter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t keep your generator prepped and ready year-round, here\u2019s what you\u2019ll want to do in the lead up to winter:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make sure your generator is accessible.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If it\u2019s stored in your garage or your shed during the summer, make sure it\u2019s easy to get to and move. You may want to go ahead and get it set up, now. Your generator should be kept at least 20 ft away from the home \u2013 not installed in the garage or near any doors or windows \u2013 and bolted or locked into place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Make sure your generator is unobstructed. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clear away leaves, branches, snow, and any nests left by visitors before running your generator. Make sure the airflow in your generator isn\u2019t obstructed.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check and change the spark plugs if necessary.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If plugs are blackened with carbon or don\u2019t seem to be performing optimally, they should be replaced. Most manufacturers recommend replacing generator spark plugs annually.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check and change the oil and filters if needed. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And purchase some extra to keep on hand. Most home generators can last for several days of steady use \u2013 anywhere from 50 to 200 hours, depending on a number of factors \u2013 but it\u2019s still a good idea to keep extra on hand if you\u2019re without power for long.<\/span><b> <\/b><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Top off the fuel<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and use a stabilizer to keep that fuel in good shape.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>If your generator has an electric battery starter, make sure it\u2019s charged<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and in good working order.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Run the generator for 15 to 20 minutes at full capacity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, both to make sure it can run and to keep the battery charged. Check your manual to see how often you should repeat this step throughout the season \u2013 some manufacturers recommend doing this weekly, others, once every few months.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully, you won\u2019t lose power this winter, but if you do, don\u2019t fret!
