ENGINE

line outdoors, away from

,_ WARNING: Drain the gaso- fire or flame,

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.

. To remove gasoline, run the engine until the fuel tank is empty and the engine stops.

. 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 uel tank is almost empty, mix stabi- lizer with fresh gasoline in a sepa- rate container and add some to the fuel tank.

. Always follow the instruction 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.

. Change the engine oil.

5.Lubricate the piston/cylinder area. First, remove the spark plug and squirt a few drops of clean engine oil into the spark plug hole. Next, cover the spark plug hole with a rag to absorb oil spray. Then, pull two or three times on the recoil starter rope to rotate the engine. Finally, install the spark plug and attach the spark plug wire.

OTHER

1.If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover it to give protec- tion from dust and dirt.

2.If the machine must be stored out-

doors, block up the snow thrower to be sure the entire machine is off the

ground.

3.Cover the snow thrower with a suit-

able protective cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic.
