shutdown, leave choke at "OFF" and do

not push the primer button. If the en-

gine fails to start, follow the Cold Start

instructions.

TO START ENGINE

(recoil starter)

Be sure that the engine has sufficient

oil. The snow thrower engine is

equipped with a recoil starter. Before

starting the engine, be certain that you

have read the following information.

F--001087J

COLD START

Be sure auger drive and traction

drive levers are in the disengaged

(RELEASED) position.

Move throttle control to"FAST' posi-

tion.

Remove the keys form the plastic

bag. Insert one key into ignition

slot. Make sure it snaps into place.

Do not turn key. Keep the second

key in a safe place.

4. Rotate choke knob clockwise to the

choke ON position.

5. Push the primer button while cov-

ering the vent hole as follows: Re-

move finger from primer button

between primes.

Do not prime if temperature above

50 ° F (10 ° C).

F (10 ° C) to 15°F (-10 ° C).

Push four times if temperature is

below 15° F (-10 ° C).

6. Pull the starter handle rapidly. Do

not allow the handle to snap back,

but allow it to rewind slowly while

keeping a firm hold on the starter

handle.

,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°F.

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:

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 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

conftol, and starter handle several

times.

AARNING: 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°R

Avoid these areas.

DO NOT allow children or young

teenagers to operate or be near

snow thrower while it is operating.

AARNING: 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.

7. 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.

8. Clean the snow thrower thoroughly

after each use.

9. 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.

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

2. Be sure spark 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.

Firmly tighten the spark plug in the

engine.

If a torque wrench is available,

torque the plug to 18 to 23 foot

pounds.

_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-

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.

.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

_ARNING: 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-001087J

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.
