WARNING: Never store your
snow thrower with gasoline
in the fuel tank 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, clothes dryer, ciga-
rette, etc.
To prevent
damage
(if snow thrower
is
not used for more than 30 days) follow
the steps below.
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.
In-
spect all visible
moving
parts for
damage,
breakage
and wear. Re-
place if necessary.
4.
Touch
up all rusted
or chipped
paint
surfaces;
sand lightly
before
paint-
ing.
5.
Cover the bare metal
parts of the
blower
housing
auger
and the im-
peller with rust preventative,
such
as a spray lubricant.
NOTE:
A yearly
checkup
or tune-up

is a good way of
ensuring
that your snow thrower
will
provide
maximum
performance
for the
next season.
ENGINE
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
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.
1.
Run the engine
until the fuel tank is
empty
and the engine
stops.
2.
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
fuel tank is almost
empty,
mix stabi-
lizer with fresh
gasoline
in a sepa-
rate container
and add some to the
fuel tank.
3.
Always
follow the instructions
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.
4.
Change
the engine
oil.
5.
Remove
the spark
plug and pour
about
15 ml (1/2 oz) of engine
oil
into the cylinder.
Replace
the spark
plug and crank
slowly to distribute
the oil.
6.
Store in a clean and dry area, but
NOT near a stove, furnace
or water
heater which
uses a pilot light or
any device
that can create
a spark.
OTHER
1.
If possible,
store your snow thrower

with a suit-
able protective
cover that does not
retain moisture.
Do not use plastic.
