TO REPLACE AUGER SHEAR BOLT

The augers are secured to the auger shaft with special bolts (see figure below ) that are designed to break (to protect the ma- chine) if an object becomes lodged in the auger housing. Use of a harder bolt will de- stroy the protection provided by the shear bolt.

IMPORTANT: To ensure safety and perfor- mance levels, only odginalequipment shear bolts should be used. When replacingshear

pacers.

To replace a broken shear bolt, proceed as follows:

Move the throttle to O (Stop) and tum oft all controls.

Disconnect the spark plug wire. Be sure all moving parts have stopped.

Remove the broken shear bolt.

Align the hole in the auger with the hole in the auger shaft. Install the new shear pin and spacer found in toolbox located on top of belt cover.

Reconnect the spark plug wire.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

If you think your carburetor needs adjusting, see your nearest Authorized Craftsman Ser-

vice Center. Engine performance should not be affected at altitudes up to 7,000 feet.

For operation at higher elevations, contact your Authorized Craftsman Service Center.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the en- gine governor, which is factory set for proper engine speed. Over speeding the engine above the factory high speed set- ting can be dangerous. If you think the en- gine-governed high speed needs adjusting, contact your nearest Craftsman Service Center, which has the proper equipment

and experience to make any necessary ad- justments.

SPARKPLUG

NOTICE: This spark ignition system meets all requirements of the Canadian Interfer- ence-Causing Equipment Regulations.

NOTICE: This engine complies with all cur- rent Australian and New Zealand limitations

regarding electromagnetic interference.

If you have difficulty starting your snow thrower, you may need to adjust or replace

the spark plug. Follow the instructions be- low.

Replace the spark plug if the electrodes are

pitted or burned or if the porcelain is cracked.

To Adjust:

Clean the spark plug by carefully scrap- ing the electrodes (do not sand blast or use a wire brush).

Be sure the spark plug is clean and free of foreign material. Check the electrodes gap (see figure below) with a wire feeler gauge and reset the gap to .030 inch if necessary.

To Replace:

If you need a new spark plug, use only the proper replacement spark plug (see page 13).

Set the gap to .030 inch.

Before installing the spark plug, coat its threads lightly with oil or grease to insure easy removal.

Tighten the plug firmly into the engine.

"If a torque wrench is available, torque the plug to 18 to 23 ft. - Ibs.
