FLATOUT™ tire sealant

For snow blowers

Overnight, the snow really came down and has piled up. You have a lot to do today, so the faster you can get the
snow out of your driveway, the better! You bundle up and go out to your shed to find that the tire on your snow blower is completely flat. There’s a screw in it that you didn’t catch when you put it up last time. Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to use your equipment because of a flat.

As winter rages on, you might find yourself needing to use your snow blower more and more. FlatOut® Outdoor Power Equipment formula can help protect the tires on your snow blower, so you’re not driving to the store to get a new tire (or worst,
shoveling the whole driveway by hand!)

Snow Blower Tips 

The FlatOut® tire sealant formulas are good to -35°C, so you don’t have to worry about it freezing in your tire. The sealant also lasts the life of the tire. When you store the snow blower
spring through fall, the sealant won’t get old or separate in your tires when you bust out your snow blower next winter. FlatOut® is easy to install and can help protect all of your equipment.

Now that we talked about protecting your snow blower’s tires, let’s talk about how to protect you, your property and others while you yeet snow. You’ll want to wear tight-fitting clothes (we figured you’d bundle up when it’s below freezing, but you never know). Loose scarves, jackets and other articles of clothing can get caught in the snow blower. You also want to wear sturdy footwear with good traction. We don’t
want you slipping on ice! If you haven’t been around a snow blower before, they’re loud. You’ll want some hearing protection. Other items that aren’t snow can also get thrown from the blower, so eye protection is a good idea too! For more safety tips, check out Snow Blowers Direct.

Before starting your snow blower, plan out where you want to throw the snow. Make sure there’s nothing (or no one) that could be damaged by flying debris that gets thrown with the snow. So that means if your neighbor has their car parked out front, you may want to change your plans and throw your snow the other way. Make sure pets and children stay indoors while you’re operating your snow blower. Get the low down on all things snow blowers in this blog by Family Handyman!

Storing Your Snow Blower

Before you know it, the snow will melt, and the flowers will bloom. You’ll want to make sure you store your snow blower properly, so you don’t have to worry about doing repairs right off the bat next winter. You want to drain the fuel and change the engine oil. Over time, fuel can go bad in a tank that sits. If you leave it in there for the next season, it can cause your machine to stall. Make sure to clean off your machine and cover it with a snow blower cover or tarp. Don’t forget to add FlatOut® Outdoor Power Equipment formula to your snow blower tires for lasting protection! You don’t have to wait until next season to treat the tires with FlatOut®. Our tire sealant stays good even in a tire that doesn’t get much action.
