not allow the handle to snap back,
but allow it to rewind slowly while
keeping a firm hold on the starter
handle.
7. As the engine warms up, move
choke lever to "1/2 choke" position.
When engine runs smoothly, move
choke lever to "No Choke" Posi-
tion.
NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for
several minutes before blowing snow in
temperatures below 0°E
8. Run engine at full throttle "FAST'
when throwing snow.
WARM START
If restarting a warm engine after a short
shutdown, leave choke at "OFF" and do
not push the primer button. If the en-
gine fails to start, follow the Cold Start
instructions.
FROZEN STARTER
If the starter is frozen and will not turn
engine:

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 direc-
tions for cold start.
To help prevent possible freeze-up of
recoil starter and engine controls, pro-
ceed as follows after each snow remov-
al 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 carbu-
retor cover in area of control levers.
Also move throttle control, choke
cofltrot, and starter handle several
times.
,_ WARNING: Never run en-
gine indoors or in enclosed,
poorly ventilated areas. En-
gine exhaust contains CARBON
MONOXIDE, AN ODORLESS AND
DEADLY GAS. Keep hands, feet,
hair and loose clothing away from
any moving parts on engine and
snow thrower.
The temperature of muffler and
nearby areas may exceed 150°F.
Avoid these areas.
DO NOT allow children or young
teenagers to operate or be near
snow thrower while it is operating.
_b ARNING: Do not attempt
to remove any item that may
become lodged in auger
without taking the following precau-
tions:
•Release auger drive lever.
•Move throttle lever to stop posi-
tion.
•Remove (do not turn) ignition
key.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
Do not place your hands in the
auger or discharge chute. Use a
pry bar.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
1. For maximum snow thrower efficien-
cy 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 de-
signed to deliver maximum perfor-
mance at full throttle and should be
run at this power setting at all times.
2. Most efficient snow throwing is ac-
complished when the snow is re-
moved 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 hard-
packed 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 manu-
al. Rocks and gravel must not be
picked up and thrown by the ma-
chine.
.
.
9.
After the snow throwing job has
been completed, allow the engine to
idle for a few minutes, which will
melt snow and accumulated ice off
the engine.
Clean the snow thrower thoroughly
after each use.
Remove ice and snow accumulation
and all debris from the entire snow
thrower, and flush with water (if pos-
sible) to remove all salt or other
chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.

HOW TO REPLACE THE AUGER
SHEAR BOLT
The augers are secured to the auger shaft
with special shear bolts. These shear bolts
are designed to break and protect the ma-
chine if an object becomes lodged in the au-
ger housing. Do not use a harder bolt as the
protection provided by the shear bolt will be
lost.
_lb ARNING: For safety and to
protect the machine, use only
original equipment shear bolts.
To replace a broken shear bolt, proceed
as follows. Extra shear bolts were pro-
vided in the assembly parts bag.
1. Move the throttle control to the stop
position. Disengage all controls.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.
Make sure all moving parts have
stopped.
3. Align the hole in the auger with the

TO ADJUST THE CARBURETOR
If you think your carburetor needs ad-
justing, see your nearest Craftsman
Store. Engine performance should not
be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet.
For operation at higher elevations, con-
tact your nearest Craftsman Store.
IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, 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 Store, which has the proper
equipment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.

TO ADJUST OR REPLACE THE
SPARKPLUG
NOTE: This spark ignition system
meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regu-
lations.
NOTE: This engine complies with all
current Australian and New Zealand
limitations regarding electromagnetic
interference.
If you have difficulty starting the snow
thrower, adjust or replace the spark
plug. Replace the spark plug is the
electrodes are pitted or burned or if the
porcelain is cracked. Follow the instruc-
tions below.
To adjust:
1. Clean spark plug by carefully
scraping the electrodes (Do not
sand blast or use awire brush).
2. Be surespark plug is clean and
free of foreign material. Check elec-
trodes gap with a wire feeler gauge
and reset gap to 0.030" if neces-
sary. See Figure 34.
To Replace:
1. If you need a new spark plug, use
only the proper replacement spark
plug.
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 re-
moval.
.
5.
Firmly tighten the spark plug in the
engine.
If a torque wrench is available,
torque the plug to 18 to 23 foot
pounds.

_b ARNING: Never store your
snow thrower indoors or in
an enclosed, poorly venti-
lated area. If gasoline remains in the
tank, fumes may reach an open
flame, spark or pilot light from a fur-
nace, 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 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. In-
Ib.*
spect all visible moving parts for
damage, breakage and wear. Re-
place if necessary.
4. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint
surfaces; sand lightly before paint-
ing.
5. Cover the bare metal parts of the
blower housing auger and the im-
peller 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.
ENGINE
,_ WARNING: Drain the gaso-
line outdoors, away from
fire or flame.
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 al-
cohol blended gasoline that uses etha-
nol or methanol (sometimes called
gasohol) attracts water. It acts on the
gasoline to form acids which damage
the engine.
F-001088,.I
.
.
.
.
5.
28
To remove gasoline, run the engine
until the fuel tank is empty and the
engine stops.
If you do not remove the gasoline,
use fuel stabilizer supplied with unit
or purchase Craftsman Fuel Stabi-
lizer No. 3550. Add fuel stabilizer to
any gasoline left in the tank to mini-
mize gum deposits and acids. If the
fuel tank is almost empty, mix stabi-
lizer with fresh gasoline in a sepa-
rate container and add some to the
fuel tank.
Always follow the instruction on the
stabilizer container. After the stabi-
lizer is added to the fuel tank, run
the engine at least ten minutes to
allow the mixture to reach the car-
buretor.
Change the engine oil.
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.
OTHER
1. If possible, store your snow thrower
indoors and cover it to give protec-
tion from dust and dirt.
2. If the machine must be stored out-
doors, block up the snow thrower to
be sure the entire machine is off the
ground.
3. Cover the snow thrower with a suit-
able protective cover that does not
retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow
thrower while engine and exhaust areas
are still warm.
