DRAIN BOWL To prevent engine damage (if snow thrower is not used for more than 30 days) follow the steps below. RG. 42 ENGINE STORAGE Gasollnemust 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. • • SNOW THROWER To remove gasoline, runthe engine untilthe tank is empty and the engine stops.Then drain remaining gasoline from carburetor by pressing upward on bowldrain locatedon the bottomofcarburetor (See Figure 42). If you do not want to remove gasoline, a fuel stabilizer (such as Craftsman Fuel Stabilizer No. 33500) may be added to anygasolineleft inthe tank to minimizegum deposits and ackls. 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 CONTAINER. THEN RUN ENGINE AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AFTER STABILIZER IS ADDED TO ALLOW MIXTURE TO REACH CARBURETOR, STORE SNOW'i'HROWER IN A SAFE PLACE. SEE WARNING ABOVE, STORAGE • Thoroughlyclean the snow thrower. • Lubricate all lubrication points (see the Maintenance section on pages 16-17). • Be sure that all nuts, belts and screws are securely fastened. Inspectall visible moving parts for damage, breakage and wear; Replace if necessary. • Touch up all rusted or chippedpaint surfaces;sand lightly before painting. • Cover the bare metal pads of the blower housing auger and the impellerwith rust preventative, such as sprayable lubricant. NOTE: A yearly checkup or tuneup by a SEARS Service Center isa good way to insurethat yoursnow throwerwill provide=_imum performancefor tha next season. O'I_IER You can keep your engine in good operaUng condition during storage by: • Changing oil. • Lubricating the piston/cylinder area. This can be done by first removingthe spark plug and squirting clean engine oilintothe spark plughole. Then cover .... the spark plug hole with a rag to absorb oil spray. • Next, rotate the engine by pullingthe startertwo or three times.
