CAUTION:
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 furnace, water
heater, c_othes dryer, cigarette, etc
To prevent engine damage (if snow thrower
is not used for more than 30 days) foftow
the steps below.
SNOW THROWER STORAGE
• Thoroughly clean the snow thrower
• Lubricate all lubrication points (see the
Maintenance section on pages I5-17).
• Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are
securely fastened
inspect all visible mov-
ing parts for damage, breakage and wear.
Rep{ace if necessary
• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint sur-
faces; sand lightly before painting.
• 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 to in-
sure that your snow thrower will provide
maximum performance for the next season
ENGINE
STORAGE
Gasoline must be removed or treated to pre_
vent gum deposits from forming in the tank,
filter, hose, and carburetor during storage..
Also during storage, alcohol blended gaso-
line that uses ethanol or methanol (some-
times called gasohol)
attracts water_. It acts
on the gasoline to form acids which damage
the engine
• To remove gasoline, run the engine until
the tank is empty and the engine stops
Then drain remaining gasoline from car-
buretor by pressing upward on bowl drain
located on the bottom of carburetor (see
next figure).
- If you do not want to remove gasoline, a
fuel stabilizer (such as Craftsman
Fuel
Stabilizer
No. 33500) may be added to
any gaso{ine left in the tank to minimize
gum deposits and acids tf the tank is al-
most empty, mix stabilizer with fresh gaso-
line in a separate container and add some
to the tank.
Carburelor Bow!
Always follow instructions on stabilizer con-
tainer. Then run engine at least t0 minutes
after stabilizer is added to allow mixture to
reach carburetor. Store snow thrower in a
safe place. See Caution on this page.
You can keep your engine in good operating
condition during storage by:
• Changing oil (see page 17)
• Lubricating the piston/cylinder area This
can be done by first removing the spark
plug and squirting a few drops of clean
engine oil into the spark plug hole Then
cover the spark plug hole with a rag to
absorb oil spray. Next, rotate the engine
by pulling the starter rope fully out two or
three times. Finally, reinstall spark plug
and attach spark plug wire.
OTHER
• if possible, store your snow thrower in-
doors and cover it to give protection from
dust and dirt
- If the machine must be stored outdoors,
b{ock 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 or vinyl.
IMPORTANT:
Never cover snow thrower
while engine and exhaust areas are still
warm
