WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or those
using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation 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 for 30 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. Use fresh
fuel next season (see Storage instructions
on page 17 for additional information).

• If the snow thrower must be moved without the aid of the engine, it is easier to pull
the snow thrower by the handles rather
than pushing.
• Before you service or start the engine, familiarize yourself with the snow thrower.
Be sure you understand the function and
location of all controls.
NOTE: Check tension of clutch cables before starting the engine (see To Adjust The
Control Cables paragraph on page 14).

SNOW THROWING

• For maximum snow thrower efficiency
operate engine at (Full) throttle. The engine is designed to deliver maximum
performance at full throttle and should be
run at this power setting at all times.
• Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished when the snow is removed
immediately after it falls.
• For complete snow removal, slightly
overlap each path previously taken.
• The snow should be discharged down
wind whenever possible.

WARM START
If restarting a warm engine after a short
shutdown, leave choke at (Oft) and do not
push the primer button. If the engine fails to
start, follow the Cold Start instructions

AFTER

EACH

USE

• Remove all snow and slush off the snow
thrower to prevent freezing of auger or
controls.
• Check controls to make sure they are
functioning properly.
• If any parts are wom or damaged,
replace immediately.

OIL RECOMMENDATION

Oil Fill Cap/Dipstick

Only use high quality detergent oil rated
with APt service classification SG. Select
the oil's viscosity grade according to your
expected operating temperature.
NOTE: For extreme cold operating conditions of 0 ° and below, use a partial synthetic
0W30 motor oil for easier starting.
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils improve starting in cold weather, these multiviscosity oils will result in increased oil
consumption when used above 32°F. Check
your engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running
low on oil.

SPARK PLUG
• Make sure that the spark plug is tightened
.securely into the engine and the spark
plug wire is attached to the spark plug.

Change the oil every 25 hours and at the
beginning of each season.
• Position the snow thrower so that the oil
drain plug is at the lowest point on the
engine. Remove the oil drain plug and the
oil fill cap/dipstick. Drain the oil into a suitable container. Oil will drain more freely
when warm.

• If a torque wrench is available, torque
plug to 18 to 23 foot pounds.
• Clean the area around the spark plug
base before removal to prevent dirt from
entering the engine.
• Clean the spark plug and reset the gap
periodically at .030 inch.

• Replace the oil drain plug and tighten secutely.

Z_ CAUTION:
Always disconnect the
spark plug wire and tie back away from
the plug before making any adjustments

SHEAR

BOLT

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the engine govemor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed. Over speeding the
engine above the factory high speed setting can be dangerous. If you think the engine-governed high speed needs adjusting,
contact your nearest Craftsman Service
Center, which has the proper equipment
and experience to make any necessary adjustments.

The augers are secured to the auger shaft
with special bolts (see figure below ) that
are designed to break (to protect the machine) if an object becomes lodged in the
auger housing. Use of a harder bolt will destroy the protection provided by the shear
bolt.
IMPORTANT:
To ensure safety and perlormance levels, only original equipment shear
belts should be used. When replacing shear
belts, be sure to replace shear belt spacers.

CAUTION"
Never store your snow
thrower indoors'or in an enclosed, poorly
ventilated area if gasoline remains in the
tank. fumes may reach an open flame,
spark or pilot light from a furnace, water
heater, clothes dryer, cigarette, etc.

• If you do not want to remove gasoline,
use fuel stabilizer supplied with unit or
purchase Craftsman Fuel Stabilizer No.
33500. Add fuel stabilizer to any gasoline
left in the tank to minimize gum deposits
and acids. If the tank is almost empty, mix
stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a separate
container and add some to the tank.

To prevent engine damage (if snow thrower
is not used for more than 30 days) follow
the steps below.

SNOW THROWER
• Thoroughly

Always follow instructions on stabilizer container. Then run engine at least 10 minutes
after stabilizer is added to allow mixture to
reach carburetor. Store snow thrower in a

safe place. See Waming above.
You can keep your engine in good operating
condition during storage by:

• Lubricate all lubrication points (see the
Maintenance section on pages 12-14).
• Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are
securely fastened. Inspect all visible moving parts for damage, breakage and wear.
Replace if necessary.

• Changing oil (see page 10).
• Lubricating the piston/cylinder area. This
can be done by first removing the spark
plug and squirting a few drops of clean
engine oil into the spark plug hole. Then
cover the spark plug hole with a rag to absorb oil spray. Next, rotate the engine by
pulling the starter rope fully out two or
three times. Finally, reinstall spark plug
and attach spark plug wire.
OTHER

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
• Cover the bare metal parts of the blower
housing auger and the impeller with rust
preventative, such as a spray lubricant.
NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up by a
Craftsman Service Center is a good way to
insure that your snow thrower will provide
maximum performance for the next season.

• If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover it to give protection from
dust and dirt.

ENGINE STORAGE

• If the machine must be stored outdoors,
block up the snow thrower to be sure the
entire machine is off the ground.
• Cover the snow thrower with a suitable
protective cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic or vinyl.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover snow thrower
while engine and exhaust areas are still
warm.

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
methanol (Sometimes called gasohol) attracts water. It acts on the gasoline to
form acids which damage the engine.
• To remove gasoline, run the engine until
the 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
figure on right).
