snow thrower with gasoline

_IL WARNING: Never store your 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 by a Sears service center 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

indoors and cover it to give protec- tion from dust and dirt.

2.If the snow thrower must be stored outdoors, put the snow thrower on blocks to raise it off of 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 stil! warm.
