Carburetor

If you think the carburetor needs to be adjusted, see your nearest authorized Sears Service Outlet.

If your snow thrower is left unused for 30 days or longer, it needs to be prepared for storage. Also, at the end of the snow season, you should follow the same set of instructions and store the snow thrower properly for the off-season. Proper storage ensures longer life of the snow thrower.

WARNING: If any adjustments are made to the engine while the engine is running (e.g. carburetor), keep clear of all moving parts. Be careful of heated surfaces and muffler.
