• Release auger drive and traction drivelevers.

• Move throttle lever to stop position.

• Remove (DO NOT TURN) ignition key.

• Disconnect spark plug wire.

• Do not place your hands in the auger ordischarge chute. Use a pry bar.

SNOW THROWING TIPS

For maximum snow thrower efficiency inremoving snow, adjust ground speed,NEVER the throttle. Go slower in deep,freezing, or wet snow. If the tracks slip,reduce forward speed. The engine is de-signed to deliver maximum performanceat full throttle and should be run at thispower setting at all times. Most efficient

13

snow blowing is accomplished when thesnow is removed immediately after itfalls.

• For complete snow removal, slightly over-lap each path previously taken. Usemore overlap in deep snow to preventoverloading.

• The snow should be discharged downwind whenever possible. In windy condi-tions, lower the chute deflector to directdischarged snow close to the ground,where it is less likely to blow into un-wanted areas.

• For normal usage, set the skids so thatthe scraper bar is 1/8" above the skids.For extremely hard-packed snow sur-faces, adjust the skids upward so that thescraper bar touches the ground.

• On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, setthe skids at 1-1/4" below the scraper bar(See To Adjust Skids Height paragraphon page 17). Stones and gravel must notbe picked up and thrown by the machine.

CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES

After the snow throwing job has beencompleted, allow the engine to idle for afew minutes, which will melt snow andaccumulated ice off the engine.

Clean the snow thrower thoroughly aftereach use.

Remove ice and snow accumulation andall debris from the entire snow thrower,and flush with water (if possible) to re-move all salt or other chemicals. Wipesnow thrower dry.

LUBRICATION• Hex Shaft and Gears - Hex shaft and

gears require no lubrication. All bearingsand bushings are lifetime lubricated andrequire no maintenance.

NOTE: Any greasing or oiling of the abovecomponents can cause contamination ofthe friction wheel. If the disc drive plate orfriction wheel comes in contact with greaseor oil, damage to the friction wheel will re-sult.

Should grease or oil come in contact withthe disc drive plate or friction wheel, be sureto clean the plate and wheel thoroughly.

NOTE: For storage, the hex shaft andgears should be wiped with 5W-30 motor oilto prevent rusting. See figure above.

• Auger Gear Box - The auger gear boxhas been factory lubricated for life. If forsome mason lubricant should leak out,have auger gear case checked by a com-petent repairman.

ENGINE

LUBRICATION

Check the crankcase oil level (see figure be-low) before starting the engine and aftereach five (5) hours of continuous use. AddS.A.E. 5W30 motor oil as needed. Tightenfill cap/dipstick securely each time youcheck the oil level.

NOTE: Oil level must bebetween full and add mark

OIL RECOMMENDATION

Only use high quality detergent oil ratedwith API service classification SG. Selectthe oil's viscosity grade according to yourexpected operating temperature:

NOTE: For extreme cold operating condi-tions of 0° and below, use a partial synthetic0W30 motor oil for easier starting.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils improvestarting in cold weather, these multi-viscosityoils will result in increased oil consumptionwhen used above 32°F. Check your engineoil level more frequently to avoid possibleengine damage from running low on oil.

Change the oil every 25 hours and at thebeginning of each season.• Position the snow thrower so that the oil

drain plug is at the lowest point on the en-gine. Remove the oil drain plug and the oilfill cap/dipstick. Drain the oil into a suit-able container. Oil will drain more freelywhen warm.

• Replace the oil drain plug and tighten se-curely.

SPARK PLUG

• Make sure that the spark plug is tightenedsecurely into the engine and the sparkplug wire is attached to the spark plug.

• If a torque wrench is available, torqueplug to 18 to 23 foot pounds.

• Clean the area around the spark plugbase before removal to prevent dirt fromentering the engine.

• Clean the spark plug and reset the gapperiodically at .030 inch.

16

Z_ CAUTION: Always disconnect the

spark plug wire and tie back away fromthe plug before making any adjustmentsor repairs.

TO ADJUST SKID HEIGHT

This snow thrower is equipped with twoheight adjustment skids, located on the out-side of the auger housing (see figure be-low). These skids elevate the front of thesnow thrower.

Nuts

O

_rHousing Height AdjustSkids

For normal hard surfaces, adjust the skidsas follows:

• Checktire pressure (14 to 17 pounds).

• Place the extra shear bolts supplied(found in parts bag) under each end of thescraper bar near but not under the skid.

• Loosen the skid mounting nuts (see figureabove) and adjust the skids up to bringthe front of the snow thrower down. Re-tighten the mounting nuts.

• Set the skid on the other side at the sameheight.

For rocky or uneven surfaces, adjust theskids as follows:

• Raise the front of the snow thrower bymoving the skids down. This will help pre-vent rocks and other debris from beingpicked up and thrown by the auger.

TO ADJUST SCRAPER BAR

After considerable use, the metal scraperbar will have a definite wear pattern. Thescraper bar may have to be returned to itsoriginal lower setting to maintain the originalperformance level. To adjust:• Position the snow thrower on a level sur-

face.

* Make sure both tires are equally inflated.Proper tire pressure is 14 to 17 PSI. Seeside of tire for maximum inflation. Do not

exceed sidewall maximum pressure ontire.

• Loosen the carriage bolts and nu'_, secur-ing the scraper bar to the auger housing.

• Adjust the scraper bar to the proper posi-tion.

• Tighten the carriage bolts and nuts, mak-ing sure that the scraper bar is parallelwith the working surface.

• For extended operation, the scraper barmay be reversed. If the scraper bar mustbe replaced due to wear, remove the car-riage bolts and nuts and install a newscraper bar.

CAUTION: Be certain to maintain properground clearance for your particular area tobe cleared. Objects such as gravel, rocksor other debris, if struck by the impeller,may be thrown with sufficient force to causepersonal injury, property damage or dam-age to the snow thrower.

TO ADJUST THE CLUTCH CONTROL

CABLES

Periodic adjustment of the cables may berequired due to normal stretch and wear onthe belts. To check for correct adjustment,the control lever must be in the full forwardposition, resting on the plastic bumper. Thecontrol cables are correctly adjusted whenthe center of the "Z" fitting is in the center ofthe hole and there is no droop in the cable.See figure below.

21

,/_ CAUTION: Never store your snowthrower indoors or in an enclosed, poorlyventilated area if gasoline remains in thetank. fumes may reach an open flame,spark or pilot light from a fumace, waterheater, clothes dryer, cigarette, etc.

To prevent engine damage (if snow thrower isnot used for more than 30 days) follow thesteps below.

SNOW THROWER STORAGE

• Thoroughly clean the snow thrower.• Lubricate all lubrication points (See the

Maintenance section on pages 14-16).• Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws are

securely fastened. Inspect all visible mov-ing parts for damage, breakage and wear.Replace if necessary.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint sur-faces; sand lightly before painting.

• Cover the bare metal parts of the blowerhousing auger and the impeller with rustpreventative, such as a spray lubricant.

NOTE: A yearly checkup or tune-up by aCraftsman Service Center is a good way toinsure that your snow thrower will providemaximum performance for the next season.

ENGINE STORAGE

Gasoline must be removed or treated to pre-vent gum deposits from forming in the tank,filter, hose, and carburetor during storage.Also during storage, alcohol blended gaso-line that uses ethanol or methanol (some-times called gasohol) attracts water. It actson the gasoline to form acids which damagethe engine.

• To remove gasoline, run the engine untilthe tank is empty and the engine stops.Then drain remaining gasoline from car-buretor by pressing upward on bowl drainlocated on the bottom of carburetor (seefigure below).

• If you do not want to remove gasoline,use fuel stabilizer supplied with unit orpurchase Craftsman Fuel Stabilizer No.33500. Add fue ! stabilizer to any gasolineleft in the tank to minimize gum depositsand acids. If the tank is almost empty,mix stabilizer with fresh gasoline in aseparate container and add some to thetank.

Always follow instructions on stabilizer con-tainer. Then run engine at least 10 minutesafter stabilizer is added to allow mixture toreach carburetor. Store snow thrower in a

safe place. See Waming above.

You can keep your engine in good operatingcondition during storage by:

• Changing oil (See page 16).

• Lubricating the piston/cylinder area. Thiscan be done by first removing the sparkplug and squirting a few drops of cleanengine oil into the spark plug hole. Thencover the spark plug hole with a rag toabsorb oil spray. Next, rotate the engineby pulling the starter rope fully out two orthree times. Finally, reinstall spark plugand attach spark plug wire.

OTHER

• If possible, store your snow thrower in-doors and cover it to give protection fromdust and dirt.

• If the machine must be stored outdoors,block up the snow thrower to be sure theentire machine is off the ground.

• Cover the snow thrower with a suitableprotective cover that does not retainmoisture. Do not use plastic or vinyl.

IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower

while engine and exhaust areas are stillwarm.
