CHECK THE OIL:
NOTE: The engine was shipped from
the factory filled with oil. Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.

F-031027L

Remove the oil fill cap/dipstick.
Check the oil.
If necessary, add oil until the oil
reaches the FULL mark on the oil fill

TO START ENGINE
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.

Fu031027L

Follow all instructions carefully
as set forth in the "To Start Engine" section.
Determine that your house wiring
is a three-wire grounded system.
Ask a licensed electrician if you
are not sure. If your house wire
system is not a three-wire system,
do not use this electric starter under any conditions.
If your system is grounded and a
three-hole receptacle is not available at the point your starter will
normally be used, one should be
installed by a licensed electrician.
When connecting 120 volt AC
"Power Cord", always connect the
cord to the Switch Box on the engine first, then plug the other end
into the three-hole grounded receptacle. When disconnecting
"Power Cord", always unplug the
end in the three-hole grounded receptacle first.

WARM START
If restarting a warm engine after a short
shutdown, leave choke at "OFF" and do
not push the primer button. If the engine 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. Repeat until the engine starts.

SNOW THROWING
TIPS
1. For maximum snow thrower efficiency in removing snow, adjust ground
speed, NEVER the throttle. Go
slower in deep, freezing or wet
snow. Ifthe 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

bar touches the ground.
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.
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 SnOWaccumulation

thrower, and flush with water (if possible) to remove all salt or other
chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

AFTER EACH USE
Run the machine to clear the auger

The warranty on this snow thrower
does not cover items that have been
subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the
warranty, the operator must maintain
the snow thrower as instructed in this
manual.

To prevent freezing of the auger or
controls, remove all snow and slush
from the snow thrower.
Check for any loose or damaged
parts.
_ghten any loose fasteners.
Check and maintain the auger.
Check controls to make sure they
are functioning properly.
If any parts are worn or damaged,
replace immediately.

Some adjustments will need to be
made periodically to properly maintain
your snow thrower.

into a suitable container.
NOTE: The oil will drain more freely
when the engine is warm.
3. After draining all the oil, reinstall the

an adjustment. If the traction drive belt
is slipping, replace the belt. See "How
To Replace The Belts" in the Service

Have someone engage auger drive
clutch. Check tension on belt (opposite idler pulley). Belt should deflect about 1/2 inch (12.5 mm) with
moderate pressure (Figure 38). You
may have to move idler pulley more
than once to obtain the correct tensJon.

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.

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.

Always follow the instructions 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.

To prevent damage (if snow thrower is
not used for more than 30 days) follow
the steps below.

3.

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.
5.

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.

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

ENGINE
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.

Fu031027L

If the snow thrower must be stored
outdoors, put the snow thrower on
blocks to raise it off of the ground.
3. 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.
