® Never direct discharge at bystanders or allow
anyone in front of the snow thrower.
Do not run the engine indoors, except when
starting the engine and for transporting the
snow thrower in or out of the building. Open
the outside doors; exhaust fumes are danger-
ous (containing CARBON MONOXIDE, an
ODORLESS and DEADLY GAS),.
eTake all possible precautions when leaving the
snow thrower unattended° Disengage the auger/
impeller, stop engine, and remove key.
eDo not overload the machine capacity by
attempting to clear snow at too fast a rate..
SAFE STORAGE
eAlways refer to Owner's Manual instructions for
important details if the snow thrower is to be

fuel tank inside a building where ignition sources
are present such as hot water and space
heaters, clothes dryers, and the likeo A!low the
engine to cool before storing in any enclosure.r
REPAIR/ADJUSTMENTS SAFETY
e After striking a foreign object, stop the engine
and remove the wire from the spark plug, or
disconnect the cord from the electric motor.
Thoroughly inspect the snow thrower for any
damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the snow thrower.
if the snow thrower should start to vibrate
abnormally, stop the engine (or electric motor)
and check immediately for the cause_ Vibration
is generally awarning of trouble.
eStop the engine (or electric motor) whenever
you leave the operating position, before un-
clogging the auger/impeller housing or dis-
charge guide, and when making any repairs,
adjustments, or inspections. Remove wire from
spark plug or disconnect cord from electric
motor.
® When cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make
certain the auger/impeller and all moving parts
have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire
and keep the wire away from the plug to prevent
accidental starting.
e Never attempt to make any adjustments while
the engine is running (except when specifically
recommended in this manual).
e Maintain or replace safety and instruction
labels, as necessary.

BEFORE STARTING ENGINE IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE OUTBOARD MOTOR
WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or those using ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to separation and for-
mation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage
the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid
engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied
before storage for30 days or longer. Start the engine and
let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty, Use
the carburetor' bowl drain to empty residual gasoline from
the float chamber (See Fig_ 19)_ Use fresh fuel next
season. (See Storage Instructions on page 18 for addi-
tional information°)
Never' use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur°

O Reinstall the cap on the gasoline container and
shake container vigorously so the oil mixes with the
gasoline ,.
O Add an additional 3 U_S quads of gasoline to the
gallon container and shake the container again
The two cycle engine used on this snow thrower requires
a mixture of gasoline and oil for lubrication of the bearings
and other moving parts. The correct fuel mixture ratio is
40:1 (3.2 oz,. oil per gallon of gas - see Fuel Mixture
Chart), Gasoline and oil must be premixed in a clean
gasoline container, Always use fresh, clean, unleaded
gasoline._

....._ CAUTION: GASOLINE IS FLAMMABLE
AND CAUTION MUST BE USED WHEN
HANDLING OR STORING IT. DO NOT
FILL FUEL TANK WHILE SNOW THROWER IS
RUNNING, HOT, OR WHEN SNOW THROWER IS
IN AN ENCLOSED .AREA. KEEP AWAY FROM
OPEN FLAME OR ELECTRICAL SPARK, AND DO
NOT SMOKE WHILE iVIIXING FUEL OR FILLING
FUEL TANK. NEVER FILL FUEL TANK COM-
PLETELY, BUT FILL THE TANKTO WITHIN 1/4- 1/
2 INCH FROM TOP TO PROVIDE SPACE FOR
EXPANSION OF FUEL. ALWAYS FILL FUEL TANK
OUTDOORS AND USE A FUNNEL OR SPOUT TO
PREVENT SPILLING. MAKE SURE TO WIPE UP
ANY SPILLED FUEL BEFORE STARTING ENGINE.
STORE GASOLINE IN A CLEAN, APPROVED CON-
TAINER, AND KEEP CAP IN PLACE ON CON-
TAINER. KEEP GASOLINE IN A COOL, WELL
VENTILATED PLACE, NEVER IN THE HOUSE.
NEVER BUY MORE THAN A 30 DAY SUPPLY OF
GASOLINE TO ASSURE VOLATILITY. GASOLINE
IS INTENDED TO BE USED AS A FUEL FOR
INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES; THERE-
FORE, DO NOT USE GASOLINE FOR ANY OTHER
PURPOSE. SINCE MANY CHILDREN LIKE THE
SMELL OF GASOLINE, KEEP IT OUT OF THEIR
REACH BECAUSE THE FUMES ARE
DANGEROUS TO INHALE, AS WELL AS BEING
EXPLOSIVE.
DO NOT FILL THE FUEL TANK WITH GASOLINE THAT DOES NOT HAVE OIL MIXED IN IT. SHAKE THE

and understood all the instructions on the preceding
pages.
COLD START
Insert the key and turn ON1.
Move the choke control to FULL position.
Push the pdmer button while covering the vent hole
as follows: ( Remove finger' from primer button
between pdmes).
Do not prime if temperature is above 50°F.
Two times if temperature is 50 °F_to 15 °F

Pult the starter hand!e with a smooth rapid move-
ment. Do not allow the starter rope to snap back.
Rewind smoothly while holding the starter handle. If
the engine fires but does not start, pull the starter
handle until the engine starts..
TION
SNOW THROWING TiPS
@ After three pulls, repeat the priming and pulling steps
again..
@ As engine warms up and begins to operate evenly,
move choke lever slowly to OFF position, tfthe engine
falters, return to 1/2 choke until it runs smoothly, then
move to OFF position.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for' a few minutes
before using the snow thrower, as the engine will not
develop lull power untilit reaches operating temperature.
@This snow throwerwill propel itself forward when the
handle is raised enough to cause the auger blades to
contact the ground
@For most efficient snow throwing, turn the discharge
chute deflector to throw snow downwind, and slightly
overlap each swath. Use more overlap in deep snow
to prevent overloading
e The distance snow will be discharged can be ad-
justed by moving the discharge chute deflectoL Raise
the deflector for more distance or lower the deflector
for less distance.
0Irlwindy conditions, lower the chute deflector to direct
discharged snow close to the ground, where it is less
likely to blow into unwanted areas,
0Keep the area to be plowed free of stones, toys and
other foreign objects Such items might be covered by
the first snow fall and picked up by the auger while
plowing.
DRY AND AVERAGE SNOW
@ Snow up to eight inch depth can be removed rapidly
by walking at a moderate rate For snow or drifts of
a greater depth, you may find it desirable to slow your
pace to allow the discharge chute to dispose of the
snow as rapidly as the auger receives the snow..
@ Plan to have the snow discharged in the direction the
wind is blowing.
WARM START
@ Move the choke to the OFF position and pull the
starter handle until the engine starts_
@ Do not prime awarm engine. Ifthe enginefailsto start,
follow the Cold Engine Start instructions above.
WET PACKED SNOW
@ Move slowly into snow of this condition.. The greater
the depth, the slower you should go..When it appears
that the wet, packed snow is causing the auger to
slow down and the chute to clog, back off and begin
a series of short jabs into the snow.These short back

@ Cover the bare metal parts of the blower housing and
auger with rust preventative, such as sprayable
lubricant
ENGINE STORAGE
Gasoline must be removed or treated to prevent
gum deposits from forming in the tank, filter, hose,
and carburetor during storage. Also during storage,
alcohol blended gasoline that uses ethanol or metha-
nol (sometimes called gasohol) attracts water, it acts
on the gasoline to form acids which damage the
engine.
@ To remove gasoline,runthe engine untilthe tank is
empty and the engine stops Then drain remaining
gasoline from carburetor by pressing upward on
bowl drain located on the bottom of carburetor (See
Fig 19)
O Ifyou do not want to remove gasoline, a fuel stabilizer
(such as Craftsman fuel stabilizer No 33500) may be
added to any gasoline left in the tank to minimize
gum deposits and acids If the tank is almost empty,
mix stablilizer with fresh gasoline in a separate
container and add some to the tank. ALWAYS
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS ON STABILIZER CON-
TAINER. THEN RUN ENGINE AT LEAST 10 MIN-
UTES AFTER STABILIZER IS ADDED TO ALLOW
MIXTURE TO REACH CARBURETOR_ STORE
SNOWTHROWER IN A SAFE PLACE. SEE WARN-
ING ABOVE.
