OPERATION
TO USE WEIGHT

TRANSFER

SYSTEM

......................

In hard packed or heavy snow conditions, conventional
snow throwers tend to ride up and leave uneven mounds
of snow behind. For these conditions, your new tracked
snow thrower has a unique weight transfer system (See
Fig, 11) designed to minimize ride-up,

..............................

OFF

Stepping on the weight transfer pedal shiit s more weight
to the auger housing. This weight transfer keeps the
snow thrower in contact with the ground and reduces
ride-up.

In Iighter snow conditions or when transporting, you
should release the weight transfer system 1or easier
steering.
e

To use the weight transfer, hold the upper handle
firmly and push down on the weight transfer pedal
(See Fig_ 12) with the ball of your foot.

FILL GAS:

CAUTION:

Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded grade automotive gasoline., Be sure that the container you pour the

WARNING: 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.

WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended
fuels (called gasohol or' using ethanol or methanol) can
attract moisture which leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage.. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage,
To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage for 30 days or longer'.. Drain the
gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuet lines
and carburetor are empty.. Use the carburetor bowl drain
to empty residual gasoline from the float chamber
(Figure 39).. Use fresh fuel next season.. (See Storage
instructions on page 23 for additional information..)

TO STOP ENGmNE
e

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.

NEVER RUN ENGINE IN-

To stop engine, move the throttle control lever to
"STOP" position and remove key. Keep the key in a
safe place_ The engine will not start without the key.

TO START ENGINE
Be sure that the engine has sufficient oil. Before starting
the engine, be certain that you have read the following
information:

TO PROVIDE SPACE FOR EXPANSION OF FUEL.
ALWAYS FILL FUEL TANK OUTDOORS AND
USE A FUNNEL OR SPOUTTO PREVENTSPILLING.

Be sure the auger and the traction clutch levers are
in the disengaged "RELEASED" position.

Move the throttle control up to "FAST" position.

Push the key into the ignition slot. Be sure it snaps
into place, Do not turn key.

Rotate choke control to "FULL" choke position,

Press the primer button two or three times, while
keeping your finger' over the vent hole on the primer
button. Additional priming may be necessary for the
first start if the temperature is below 15° F,

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.

MAKE SURE TO WIPE UP ANY SPILLED FUEL
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE.

As the engine warms up and begins to operate
evenly, rotate the choke knob slowly to "OFF" position. If the engine falters, return to "FULL" choke,
then slowly move to "OFF" choke position.

STORE GASOLINE IN A CLEAN, APPROVED
CONTAINER AND KEEP THE CAP IN PLACE ON
THE CONTAINER°

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for a few minutes
because the engine will not develop full power until it
reaches operating ternperature.

that the scraper bar touches the ground
On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, set the skids at
1-1/4" below the scraper bar (see Skids Height Adjustment paragraph on page 16). Rocks and gravel
must not be picked up and thrown by the machine..

TIPS

For maximum snow thrower efficiency, adjust ground
speed, not throttle. If the track slips, reduce forward
speed_ The engine isdesigned to deliver maximum
performance at full throttle and shou{d be run at this
power setting at all times..

•

Most efficient snow blowing is accomplished when
the snow is removed immediately after it falls

For complete snow removal, slightly overlap each
path previously taken.

The snow should be discharged down wind whenever possible..

This snow thrower is equipped with two height adjustment skids, located on the outside of the auger housing.
These skids elevate the front of the snow thrower°

HEIGHT ADJUST

For normal hard surfaces, adjust the skids as follows:
o

Place extra shear' bolts supplied (found inparts bag)
under each end of the scraper bar near but not
under the skid.

FIG. 19

TO ADJUST CHUTE
CRANK ASSEMBLY

Loosen the skid mounting nuts (See Fig 19) and
push the skid down until it touches the ground. Retighten the mounting nuts.

if you cannot rotate the chute crank fully to the left and to
the right, you needto adjust the chute crank (See Fig. 20)_

=
Set the skid on the other side at same height..
For rocky or uneven surfaces, raise the front of the snow
thrower by moving the skids down. This will help prevent
rocks and other debris from being picked up and thrown
by the auger.

TO ADJUST

SCRAPER

BAR

After considerable use, the metal scraper bar will have a
definite wear pattern. The scraper barin conjunctionwith
the skids should always be adjusted to allow 1/8" between
the scraper bar and the sidewalk or area to be cleaned_
e

Loosen t!le carriage bolts and nuts securing the
scraper bar to the auger housing

Adjust the scraper' bar to the proper position..

Tightenthe carriage bolts and nuts, making sure that
the scraper bar is parallel with the working surface..

After extended operation, the scraper bar may be reversed.. If the scraper bar must be replaced due to
wear, remove the carriage bolts and nuts and install
a new scraper bar.

Thoroughly clean the snow thrower..

Lubricate all lubrication points (see Maintenance,
pages 14-15).

FIG. 39

Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely
fastened. Inspect all visible moving parts for damage, breakage and wear.. Replace if necessary..
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surtaces; sand
lightly before painting

•

Start the engine and run at SLOW (idle) speed until
the engine stops from lack of fuel.

Drain the carburetor by pressing upward on the
bowl drain (See Fig. 39), located below the carburetor cover.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as STA-BIL) is an acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel
tank or storage container, Always follow the mix ratio
found on stabilizer container Run engine at least I0
minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to
reach the carburetor Do not drain the gas tank carburetor if using fuel stabilizer..

Cover the bare metal parts of the blower housing
auger and the impeller with rust preventative, such
as sprayable lubricant..

NOTE: A yearly checkup or tun®up by a SEARS Service
Center is a good way to insure that your snow thrower wilt
provide maximum performance for the next season

ENGINE
IMPORTANT:

Remove the spark plug and squirt one (I) ounce of
engine oil into the cylinder Pull the recoil starter
rope sfowty, allowing the piston to coat the internal
engine parts
Install an old spark plug
This
prevents fouling a new plug with the preservative
used to lubricate the internal parts of the engine
Close the choke and plug the muffler opening.

tT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT
GUM DEPOSITS FROM FORMING iN
THE ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM
PARTS, SUCH AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR
TANK DURING STORAGE.. ALSO,
EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT
ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS
(CALLED GASOHOL OR CONTAINING ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN
ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS
TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION
OF ACIDS DURING STORAGE.
ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE
FUEL SYSTEM OFAN ENGINE WHILE
IN STORAGE.

OTHER

Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank by removing
the fuel line. Drain the fuel and reinstall the fuel line..

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

lfthe machine must be stored outdoors, btock 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.
