Engine

If restarting a warm engine after a short
shutdown, leave the choke lever in the
off position 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
the engine, follow the steps below.
1. Pull as much starter rope as possible out of the starter.

•

Engine parts, especially the muffler, become extremely hot. Severe thermal burns can occur on
contact. Allow the engine to cool
before touching.

•

Never allow children to operate
the snow thrower. Never allow
adults to operate the snow thrower without proper instruction.
Keep the area of operation clear
of all persons, particularly small
children and pets.
Never leave the snowthrower unattended while the engine is running. Anyone operating the engine or equipment must carefully
read and understand the operating instructions.

•

Release the starter handle and let it
snap back against the starter. Repeat until the engine starts.
Warm engines will cause condensation
in cold weather. To prevent possible
freeze-up of recoil starter and engine
controls, proceed as follows after each
snow removal job.

SNOW THROWING TIPS
1. For maximum snow thrower efficiency in removing snow, adjust ground
speed. Go slower in deep, freezing
or wet snow. If the wheels slips, reduce forward speed.
2. Most efficientsnow throwingis accomplishedwhen the snow is removed immediately after if falls.
3. For complete snow removal, slightly
ovedap each path previouslytaken.
4. The snow should be discharged
down windwhenever 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 touchesthe 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.
.

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.

9. Remove ice and snow accumulation
and all debrisfrom the entire snow
thrower, and flushwith water (if possible) to remove all salt or other
chemicals. Wipe snow thrower dry.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
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.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your
snow thrower.
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the
emission control devices and systems can
be performed by any non-road engine repair establishment or individual. Regular
maintenance will improve the performance
and extend the life of the engine.

AFTER EACH USE

RATINGS

The power ratings for an individual
engine model are initially developed by
starting with SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) code J1940 (Small
Engine Power & Torque Rating Procedure) (Revision 2002-05). Given both
the wide array of products on which our
engines are placed, and the variety of
environmental issues applicable to
operating the equipment, it may be that
the engine you have purchased will not
develop the rated horsepower when
used in a piece of power equipment
(actual =on-site" power). This difference
is due to a variety of factors including,
but not limited to, the following: differences in altitude, temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, fuel, engine
lubrication, maximum governed engine
speed, individual engine to engine
variability, design of the particular piece
of power equipment, the manner in
which the engine is operated, engine
run-in to reduce friction and clean out of
combustion chambers, adjustments to
the valves and carburetor, and other
factors. The power ratings may also be
adjusted based on comparisons to
other similar engines utilized in similar
applications, and will therefore not
necessarily match the values derived
using the foregoing codes.

NOTE: Clean all excess grease or
oil found on the rubber friction
wheel or the disc drive plate.
CAUTION: Do not allow grease or
oil to contact the rubber friction
wheel or the disc drive plate,

ENGINE

Change the oil every fifty (50) hours or
at least once a year if the snow thrower
is not used for fifty (50) hours.

LUBRICATION
Check the crankcase oil level before
starting the engine and after each eight
(8) hours of continuous use. See
Figure 18. Add S.A.E. 5W30 motor oil
as needed. Synthetic 5W30 is acceptable for all temperatures. Tighten fill
cap/dipstick securely each time you
check the oil level.
Oil Fill Cap/DipsUck

TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
1. Position the snow thrower so that
the oil drain plug is at the lowest
point on the engine.
2. When the engine is warm, remove
the oil drain plug and the oil fill
cap/dipstick (see Figure 18). Drain
the oil into a suitable container.
After draining all the oil, reinstall the
oil drain plug securely.

empty and the engine stops.

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.

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.

Remove the spark plug and pour
about 15 ml (1/2 oz) of engine oil
intothe cylinder.Replace the spark
plug and crank slowlyto distribute
the oil.
Store in a clean and dry area, but
NOT near a stove, furnace or water
heater which uses a pilot light or
any device that can create a spark.

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.

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

Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and Air
Index Information On Your Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Tier 2
Emission Standards must display information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index. Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A. makes this information available to the consumer on our emission labels.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running
time for which the engine is certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper
maintenance in accordance with the Operating & Maintenance Instructions. The following categories are used:
Moderate:
Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 125 hours of actual
engine running time.
Intermediate:
Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 250 hours of actual
engine running time.
Extended:
Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 500 hours of actual
engine running time.
For example, a typical walk-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25 hours per year.
Therefore, the Emissions Durability Period of an engine with an Intermediate
rating would equate to 10 to 12 years.
The Air Index is a calculated number describing the relative level of emissions for a
specific engine family. The lower the Air Index, the cleaner the engine. This information is displayed in graphical form on the emissions label.

After July 1, 2000, Look For Emissions Compliance
Period OnEngine Emissions Compliance Label
After July 1, 2000 certain Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A. engines will be certified to
meet the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emission
standards. For Phase 2 certified engines, the Emissions Compliance Period referred to
on the Emissions Compliance label indicatesthe number of operating hours for which the
engine has been shown to meet Federal emission requirements. For engines less than
225 cc displacement, Category C = 125 hours, B = 250 hours and A = 500 hours. For
engines of 225 cc or more, Category C = 250 hours, B = ,500 hours and A = 1000 hours.
