equipped with a recoil starter.

Before starting the engine, be certain that you

have read the following information.

[i]-.]_l;rz_lil[i]_l

COLD START

1.

Be sure auger drive and traction drive levers are in the disengaged

(RELEASED) position.

2.

Move throttle control to"FAST" position.

3.

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 covering the vent hole as follows: Remove finger from primer button between primes.

Do not prime if temperature above

50 ° F (10 ° C).

Push two time if temperature is 50 °

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,

7. As the engine warms up, move

choke lever to "1/2 choke" position.

When engine runs smoothly, move

choke lever to "No Choke" Position.

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 directions for cold start.

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 control, and starter handle several times.

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 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 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.

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 possible) to remove all salt or other chemicals.

Wipe snow thrower dry.

TO ADJUST THE CARBURETOR

If you think your carburetor needs adjusting, see your nearest Sears Store.

Engine performance should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet.

For operation at higher elevations, contact your nearest Sears 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

Sears Store, which has the proper equipment and experience to make any necessary adjustments.

TO ADJUST OR REPLACE THE

SPARK PLUG

NOTE: This spark ignition

all requirements ence-Causing system meets of the Canadian Interfer-

Equipment Regulations.

If you have difficulty starting the snow thrower, adjust or replace the spark plug. Replace the spark plug is the electrodes are pitted or burned or if the porcelain is cracked. Follow the instructions below.

To adjust:

1. Clean spark plug by carefully scraping the electrodes (Do not

sand blast or use a wire brush).

2.

Be sure spark plug is clean and free of foreign material. Check electrodes gap with a wire feeler gauge and reset gap to 0.030" if necessary. See Figure 40.

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.

3.

Before installing the spark plug, lightly coat the spark plug threads with oil or grease to insure easy removal.

4.

Firmly tighten the spark plug in the engine.

5.

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 ventilated 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.

1,

2,

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.

SNOW THROWER

1, Thoroughly clean the snow thrower,

2, Lubricate all lubrication points, See the Maintenance section,

3.

Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are securely fastened. Inspect all visible moving parts for damage, breakage and wean 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.

3,

4,

5,

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

ENGINE

_ ARNING: Drain the gasoline 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 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_)OlI62J 31

2,

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

If the machine must be stored outdoors, block up the snow thrower to be sure the entire machine is off 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.
