not push the primer button. If the engine fails to start, follow the Cold Start
instructions.

TO START ENGINE

FROZEN STARTER
If the starter is frozen and will not turn

1. Pull as much rope out of the starter
as possible.

2. Release the starter handle and let it
snap back against the starter.
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the
two previous steps until the engine
starts. Then continue with the directions for cold start.

Disconnect spark plug wire.
Do not place your hands in the
auger or discharge chute. Use a
pry bar.

SNOW THROWING

1. For maximum snow thrower efficiency in removing snow, adjust ground
speed, NEVER the throttle. Go
slower in deep, freezing or wet
snow. If the wheels slips, reduce
forward speed. The engine is designed to deliver maximum performance at full throttle and should be
run at this power setting at all times.
2. Most efficient snow throwing is accomplished when the snow is removed immediately after if falls.
3. For complete snow removal, slightly
overlap each path previously taken.
4. The snow should be discharged
down wind whenever possible.
5. For normal usage, set the skids so
that the scraper bar is 1/8" above
the skids. For extremely hardpacked snow surfaces, adjust the
skids upward so that the scraper
bar touches the ground.
6. On gravel or crushed rock surfaces,
set the skids at 1-1/4" below the
scraper bar. See To Adjust Skid
Height paragraph in the Service &
Adjustments section of this manual. Rocks and gravel must not be
picked up and thrown by the machine.

To help prevent possible freeze-up of
recoil starter and engine controls, proceed as follows after each snow removal job.
1. With the engine running, pull the
starter rope hard with a continuous
full arm stroke three or four times.
Pulling of starter rope will produce a
loud clattering sound. This is not
harmful to the engine or starter.
2. With the engine not running, wipe all
snow and moisture from the carburetor cover in area of control levers.
Also move throttle control, choke
cofltrot, and starter handle several
times.

DO NOT allow children or young
teenagers to operate or be near

After the snow throwing job has
been completed, allow the engine to

melt snow and accumulated ice off
the engine.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly
after each use.
9. Remove ice and snow accumulation

HOW TO CHECK AND ADJUST
THE CABLES

Spr,n°!

The cables are adjusted at the factory
and no adjustment should be necessary. If the cables have become
stretched or are sagging adjustment will
be necessary.
To check for correct adjustment,disconnect the Z-fitting at the drive lever,
move the drive lever to the full forward
position, just contacting the plastic
bumper.
The control cables are correctly adjusted when the center of the
"Z" fitting is between the center and
top of the hole in the drive lever and
there in no droop in the cable. See
Figure 20.

2. Be sure spark plug is clean and

free of foreign material. Check electrodes gap with a wire feeler gauge
and reset gap to 0.030" if necessary. See Figure 34.

To Replace:
1. If you need a new spark plug, use
only the proper replacement spark
plug.

Firmly tighten the spark plug in the
engine.
If a torque wrench is available,
torque the plug to 18 to 23 foot
pounds.
Feeler Gauge
0.030"

2. Set the gap to 0.030 inches.
.

Before installing the spark plug,
lightly coat the spark plug threads
with oil or grease to insure easy removal.

ARNING:
Never
store oryour
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.
NOTE: To prevent engine damage (if
snow thrower is not used for more than
30 days) follow the steps below.
SNOW

If you do not remove the gasoline,
use fuel stabilizer supplied with unit
or purchase Craftsman Fuel Stabilizer No. 3550. Add fuel stabilizer to
any gasoline left in the tank to minimize gum deposits and acids. If the
fuel tank is almost empty, mix stabilizer with fresh gasoline in a separate container and add some to the
fuel tank.

THROWER

1. Thoroughly

clean the snow thrower.
.

2.
.

Lubricate all lubrication points. See
the Maintenance section.
Be sure that all nuts, bolts and
screws are securely fastened. Inspect all visible moving parts for
damage, breakage and wear. Replace if necessary.
Ib

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 Sears service center is a good way of
ensuring that your snow thrower will
provide maximum performance for the
next season.

WARNING:

gasofire or flame.

Lubricate the piston/cylinder area.
First, remove the spark plug and
squirt a few drops of clean engine
oil into the spark plug hole. Next,
cover the spark plug hole with a rag
to absorb oil spray. Then, pull two or
three times on the recoil starter rope
to rotate the engine. Finally, install
the spark plug and attach the spark
plug wire.

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

If the machine must be stored outdoors, block up the snow thrower to
be sure the entire machine is off the
ground.

Gasoline must be removed or treated to
prevent gum deposits from forming in
the fuel 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.
F-001088,.I

Change the engine oil.

OTHER

ENGINE
,_

Always follow the instruction on the
stabilizer container. After the stabilizer is added to the fuel tank, run
the engine at least ten minutes to
allow the mixture to reach the carburetor.

Cover the snow thrower with a suitable protective cover that does not
retain moisture. Do not use plastic.

IMPORTANT:
Never cover snow
thrower while engine and exhaust areas
are still warm.
