IFORNIA AND US EPA EMISSION

REGULATIONS FOR ULGE ENGINES:

Are certified to operate on regular un- leaded gasoline. Include the following emission control system(s): EM, TWC

(if so equipped). Include any user ad- justable features-therefore no other ad- justments are needed.

WARNING: Experiences in-

,_ dicates that alcohol blended

fuels (called gasohol or

those using ethanol or methanol)

can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids

during storage. Acidic gas can dam- age the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

NOTE: To avoid engine problems,

the fuel system must be emptied be- fore storage for 30 days or longer.

Start the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are

empty. Use the carburetor bowl drain to empty residual gasoline

from the float chamber. Use fresh fuel next season. See the Storage

section in'this manual for additional

information.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or

permanent damage may occur.

Fill the fuel tank only with a fresh, clean, unleaded regular, unleaded

premium, or reformulated automo- tive gasoline. DO NOT use leaded

gasoline. Make sure that the con- tainer you pour the gasoline from is

clean and free from rust or other for- eign particles. Never use gasoline

that may be stale from long periods of storage in the container.

,_ WARNING: Gasoline is flam-

mable. Always use caution when handling or storing

gasoline. Do not fill fuel tank while snow

thrower is running, when it is hot, or

when snow thrower is in an en- closed area.

Keep away from open flame or an electrical spark and do not smoke while filling the fuel tank.

Never fill the tank completely. Fill

the tank to within 1/4"-1/2" from the top to provide space for expansion

of fuel. Always fill fuel tank outdoors and

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).

8. Push down on the starter button until the engine starts. Do not crank

for more than 10 seconds at a time. This electric starter is thermally pro-

tected. If overheated it will stop au- tomatically and can be restarted

only when it has cooled to a safe

temperature (a wait of about 5 to 10

minutes is required).

9. When the engine starts, release the

starter button and move choke le- ver to "1/2 choke" position. When

engine runs smoothly, move choke lever to "No Choke" Position.

10. Disconnect power cord from recep- tacle, first, and then from switch box.

NOTE: Allow the engine to warm up for several minutes before

blowing snow in temperatures below 0°F.

11. 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.

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.

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).

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" 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 control, and starter handle several

times.

_ WARNING: 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°F. Avoid these areas.

DO NOT allow children or young

teenagers to operate or be near

snow thrower while it is operating.

F-O01129.1 18

,_ WARNING: 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 rethoving 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.

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.

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 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 Sears Store.

Engine performance should not be af- fected 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 system meets

all requirements of the Canadian Interfer-

ence-Causing Equipment Regulations,

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 elec- trodes gap with a wire feeler gauge

and reset gap to 0.030" if neces- sary. 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 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.

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.

line outdoors, away from

fire or flame,

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

|uel 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.
