Do not attempt to defeat the function of
the operator presence control under any
circumstances.

TRAINING

Read the operating and service instruction
manual carefully. Be thoroughly familiar
with the controls and the proper use of the
equipment. Know how to stop the unit and

Never remove fuel tank cap or add fuel
to a running engine (motor) or hot engine (motor).
Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme
care. Never fill fuel tank indoors.
Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up
spilled fuel.
Never store fuel or snow thrower with
fuel in the tank inside of a building
where fumes may reach an open flame
or spark.
Check
lowing
of the
cause

fuel supply before each use, alspace for expansion as the heat
engine (motor) and/or sun can
fuel to expand.

For all units with electric starting motors
use electric starting extension cords certified CSAiUL. Use only with a receptacle
that has been installed in accordance with
local inspection authodties.

SNOW THROWING

TIPS

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.

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
conftol, and starter handle several
times.

3.
4.

For complete snow removal, slightly
overlap each path previously taken.
The snow should be discharged
down wind whenever possible.

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.

Avoid these areas.

DO NOT allow children or young

7. After the snow throwing job has

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

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.

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 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.

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. Inspect all visible moving parts for
damage, breakage and wear. Replace if necessary.

4. 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.

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.
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 protection from dust and dirt.

ARNING:

gasofire 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 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-001087J

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.

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