inside a building where ignition sources are present
such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes
dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
3. Always refer to operator's manual for important details
if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended
period.
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow
to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.

TO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 19)
NOTE: The wrench provided inyour parts bag may be used
to adjust the skid plates.
Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height
for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in
normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk,
place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper
clearance) to give a 5 mm clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snow thrower
over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, rocks
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the
impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property
damage or damage to the snow thrower.
• If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface,
use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted
to lowest (highest scraper clearance) position.
1. Shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Adjust skid plates by loosening the rear 1/2" hex nut
only, then moving skid plate to desired position. Be sure
both plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.

providing additional service before requiring replacement.
Replace a damaged or worn scraper bar.
TO USE DRIFT CUTTERS (See Fig. 20)
Use the drift cuttersto cut through deep snowdrifts that are
higher than the front of the snow thrower.
• Loosen upper adjustment nut enough to allow drift
cutter to be raised to highest position and tighten nut
securely. Repeat for opposite side of snow thrower.
• When not using drift cutters, loosen adjustment nut,
lower to storage position and tighten nut securely.
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 21)
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from
the factory, already filled with oil.
1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert
the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until
"FULL" mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.
• To change engine oil, see "TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL"
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 21)
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not over-
fill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of87 octane. Do not mix oilwith gasoline.
Purchase fuel inquantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or
near an open flame.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas-
ohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and for-
mation 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 of
30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next eea-

TO START ENGINE WARM START - RECOIL STARTER
• Be sure fuel shut-off valve is in the OPEN position.
Your snow thrower engine is equipped with both a 120 Volt
A.C. etectdc starter and a recoil starter. The electric starter
is equipped with a three-wire power cord and plug and is
designed to operate on 120 Volt A.C. household current.
• Be sure your house is a 120 Volt A.C. three-wire
grounded system. If you are uncertain, consult a
licensed electrician.
WARNING: Do not use the electric
starter if your house is not a 120 Volt
A.C. three-wire grounded system. Se-
rious personal injury or damage to your
snow thrower could result.

proceed as follows:
1. Grasp the recoil starter handle and slowly pull as much
rope out of the starter as possible.
2. Release the recoil starter handle and let it snap back
against the starter.
If the engine still fails to start, repeat the above steps or
use the electric starter.
SNOW THROWING TIPS
• Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance,
• Goslowerindeep, freezingorheavywetsnow. Usethe
drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.
• It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-
diately after itfalls.
• The best time to remove snow isthe early morning. At
this time the snow is usually dry and has not been ex-
posed to the direct sun and warming temperatures,
• Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.
• Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
• Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow
conditions. See "TO ADJUST SKID PLATES" in this
section of this manual.
• For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow
removal byoverlapping previous path and moving slowly.
• Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This
will help air flow and extend engine life.
• After snow-threwing is completed, allow engine to runfor
a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.
• Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each
14
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.

MAINTENANCE
V-BELTS TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50
hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts
are not adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to stip from
wear. (See "TO REMOVE BELT COVER" in the Service
and Adjustments section of this manual).
The V-belts on you rsnow thrower are of special construction
and should be replaced by original equipment manufacturer
(OEM) belts available from your nearest dealer. Using other
than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to
the snow thrower.
AUGER GEAR CASE
The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper
level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs
attention is if service has been performed on the gear
case.
• If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease.
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
DO NOT lubricate the drive components insidethe snow
thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction
wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings
are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.
CAUTION: Any lubricatin_ of the above compo-
nents can cause contamination of the friction
wheel and damage to the drive system of your
snow thrower.

TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED
BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
NOTE: Although multi-viecosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosityoils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F/0°C. Check your engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least
once a year ifthe snow thrower is not used for 25 hours
in one year.
Checkthe crankcase oillevel before startingthe engine and
after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil fill
cap / dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.
Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil
change. All oil must meetAPI service classification SG-SL.
• Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.
• Oil will drain more freely when warm.
• Catch oil in a suitable container.
NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow
thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and place-
ment of a suitable container. The unit tilted, resting on the
frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil
trapped inside the engine. (See "TO REMOVE WHEELS"
in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place
wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.
2. Clean area around drain plug.
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in a suitable container.
4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.

ENGINE
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance
should not be affected at altitudes up to 2,134 meters. If
your engine does not operate properly due to suspected
carburetor problems, take your snow thrower to a Sears
service centre/department.
ENGINE SPEED
Never tamper withthe engine governor, which isfactory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above
the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will
void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high
speed needs adjusting, contact a Sears service centre/de-
partment, which has the proper equipment and experience
to make any necessary adjustments.
Immediately prepare your snow thrower for storage at the
end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days
or more.
WARNING: Never store the snow
thrower with gasoline inthe tank inside
a building where fumes may reach an
&
open flame, spark or pilot light as on a
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or
gas appliance. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
SNOW THROWER
When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time,
clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc.
Store in a clean, dry area.
1. Clean entire snow thrower (See "CLEANING" in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
2.
Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See TO RE-
PLACE BELTS" inthe Service and Adjustments section
of this manual).

ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It isimportant to prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,
fuel hose, or tank duringstorage. Also,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.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting
it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min-
imizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add stabilizer to gasoline infuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-
gine oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of
this manual).
CYLINDER
1.
Remove spark plug.
2.
Pour approximately one ounce (30 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder.
,
Pull recoil starter handle slowly a few times to distribute
oil.
