ENGINE
STORAGE
Gasoline must be removed or treated to
prevent
gum deposits
from forming in the
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.
• To remove gasoline,
run the engine until
the tank is empty and the engine stops.
Then drain remaining
gasoline from
carburetor by pressing upward on bow!
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 gasoline left in the tank to minimize
gum deposits and acids
If the tank is
almost empty, mix stabilizer with fresh
gasoline in a separate container
and add
some to the tank. Always follow instruc-
tions on stabilizer container.
Instructions
on stabilizer container,
Then run engine at
least 10 minutes after stabilizer is added
to allow mixture to reach carburetor.
Store
snow thrower in a safe place. See
Warning under STORAGE.
OTHER
• If possible,
store your snow thrower
indoors with the gas removed 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.
• Cover the snow thrower with a suitable
protective cover that does not retain
moisture_ Do not use plastic or vinyl.
NOTE:
A yearly checkup or tune-up at a
SEARS Service Center is a good way of
ensuring that your snow thrower will provide
