WARNING: Snow throwers have ex-
posed rotating parts, which can cause
severe injury from contact, or from ma-
terial thrown from the discharge chute.
Keep the area of operation clear of all
persons, small children and pets at all
times including startup.
CAUTION: Muffler and other engine
parts become extremely hot during
operation and remain hot after engine
has stopped. To avoid severe burns on
contact, stay away from these areas.
WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of
its constituents, and certain vehicle
components contain or emit chemi-
cals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or

crushed rock surface.
Never attempt to make any adjustments while the
engine (motor) is running (except when specifically
recommended by manufacturer).
Always wear safety glasses or eye shields during op-
eration or while performing an adjustment or repair to
protect eyes from foreign objects that may be thrown
from the machine.
Operation
1. Do not put hands or feet near or under rotating parts.
Keep clear of the discharge opening at all times.
2. Exercise extreme caution when operating on or cross-
ing gravel drives, walks, or roads. Stay alert for hidden
hazards or traffic.
3. After striking a foreign object, stop the engine (motor),
remove the wire from the spark plug, disconnect the
cord on electric motors, thoroughly inspect the snow
thrower for any damage, and repair the damage before
restarting and operating the snow thrower.
4. If the unit should start to vibrate abnormally, stop the
engine (motor) and check immediately for the cause.
Vibration is generally a warning of trouble.
5. Stop the engine (motor) whenever you leave the oper-
ating position, before unclogging the collector/impeller
housing or discharge chute, and when making any
repairs, adjustments or inspections.

Clearing a Clogged Discharge Chute
Hand contact with the rotating impeller inside the discharge
chute is the most common cause of injury associated with
snow throwers. Never use your hand to clean out the dis-
charge chute. To clear the chute:
1. SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!
2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the impeller blades have
stopped rotating.
3. Always use a clean-out tool, not your hands.
Maintenance and Storage
1. Check shear bolts and other bolts at frequent intervals
for proper tightness to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
2. Never store the machine with fuel in the fuel tank
inside a building where ignition sources are present
such as hot water heaters, space heaters, or clothes
dryers. Allow the engine to cool before storing in any
enclosure.
3. Always refer to operator's manual for important details
if the snow thrower is to be stored for an extended
period.
4. Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels, as
necessary.
5. Run the machine a few minutes after throwing snow
to prevent freeze-up of the collector/impeller.

OPERATION
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINETO ADJUST SKID PLATES (See Fig. 19)
NOTE: The wrench provided in your parts bag may be used
to adjust the skid plates.
Skid plates are located on each side of the auger housing
and adjust the clearance between the scraper bar and the
ground surface. Adjust skid plates evenly to proper height
for current surface conditions. For removal of snow in
normal conditions, such as a paved driveway or sidewalk,
place skid plates in the highest position (lowest scraper
clearance) to give a 5 mm clearance between the scraper
bar and the ground. Use a middle position if the surface
to be cleared is uneven.
NOTE: It is not recommended to operate the snowthrower
over gravel or rocky surfaces. Objects such as gravel, rocks
or other debris, can easily be picked up and thrown by the
impeller, which can cause serious personal injury, property
damage or damage to the snow thrower.
• If snow thrower must be operated over gravel surface,
use extra caution and be sure skid plates are adjusted
to lowest (highest scraper clearance) position.
1. Shut off engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Adjust skid plates by loosening the rear 1/2" hex nut
only, then moving skid plate todesired position. Be sure
both plates are adjusted evenly. Tighten securely.

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL (See Fig. 21)
The engine on your snow thrower has been shipped, from
the factory, already filled with oil.
1. Check engine oil with snow thrower on level ground.
2. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick and wipe clean, reinsert
the dipstick and screw tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until
"FULL" mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.
• Tochange engine oil, see"TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL"
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 21)
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not over-
fill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
WARNING: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels (called gas-
ohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and for-
mation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can
damage the fuel system of an engine while in
storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied before storage of
30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank, start
the engine and let it run until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next sea-
son. See Storage Instructions for additional
information. Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

SNOW THROWING TIPS
• Always operate the snow thrower with the engine at
full throttle. Full throttle offers the best performance.
• Go slower in deep, freezing or heavy wet snow. Usethe
drive speed control, NOT the throttle, to adjust speed.
• It is easier and more efficient to remove snow imme-
diately after it falls.
• The best time to remove snow is the early morning. At
this time the snow is usually dry and has not been ex-
posed to the direct sun and warming temperatures.
• Slightly overlap each successive path to ensure all
snow will be removed.
• Throw snow downwind whenever possible.
• Adjust the skid plates to proper height for current snow
conditions. See "TO ADJUST SKID PLATES" in this
section of this manual.
• For extremely heavy snow, reduce the width of snow re-
moval byoverlapping previous path and moving slowly.
• Keep engine clean and clear of snow during use. This
will help air flow and extend engine life.
• After snow-throwing iscompleted, allow engine to run for
a few minutes to melt snow and ice off the engine.
• Clean the entire snow thrower thoroughly after each
use and wipe dry so it is ready for next use.
I _ WARNING: Do not operate snow thrower if weather conditions impair visibility. Throwing snow I
I
during a heavy, windy snowstorm can blind you and be hazardous to the safe operation of the
I
snow thrower.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this snowth rower does not cover items that
have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain
snow thrower as instructed in this manual. Some adjust-
ments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain
your snow thrower.
At least once a season, check to see if you should make
any of the adjustments described in the Service and Ad-
justments section of this manual.
• At least once a year, you should replace the spark plug
and check belts for wear. A new spark plug will help
your engine run better and last longer.
• Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.
NOTE: Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
parts to service this unit. Failure to do so can cause the unit
to malfunction and pose a risk of injury to the operator.

TIRES
• Maintain proper air pressure in both tires (14-17 P.S.I.
/ 19-24.5 N-m). 15
• Keep tires free of gasoline and oil, which can harm
rubber.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat tires due to
slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local
parts dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and
corrosion.
MAINTENANCE
V-BELTS TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after every 50
hours of operation and replace if necessary. The belts
are not adjustable. Replace belts if they begin to slip from
wear. (See "TO REMOVE BELT COVER" in the Service
and Adjustments section of this manual).
The V-belts on your snow thrower are of special construction
and should be replaced byoriginal equipment manufacturer
(OEM) belts available from your nearest dealer. Using other
than OEM belts can cause personal injury or damage to
the snow thrower.
AUGER GEAR CASE
• The gear case was filled with lubricant to the proper
level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs
attention is if service has been performed on the gear
case.
• If lubricant is required, use only Ronex ED #1 grease.
TRACTION DRIVE SYSTEM
DO NOT lubricate the drive components inside the snow
thrower. The sprockets, hex shafts, drive disc and friction
wheel require no lubrication. The bearings and bushings
are lifetime lubricated and require no maintenance.
CAUTION: Any lubricating of the above compo-
nents can cause contamination of the friction
wheel and damage to the drive system of your
snow thrower.
ENGINE
LUBRICATION
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SG-SL. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade
according to your expected operating temperature.

BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F/0°C. Check your engine oil level more frequently to
avoid possible engine damage from running low on oil.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least
once a year if the snow thrower is not used for 25 hours
in one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine and
after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten oil fill
cap / dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.
Determine temperature range anticipated before next oil
change. All oil must meet API service classification SG-SL.
• Be sure snow thrower is on level surface.
• Oil will drain more freely when warm.
• Catch oil in a suitable container.
NOTE: The left side wheel may be removed from snow
thrower for easier access to the oil drain plug and place-
ment of a suitable container. The unit tilted, resting on the
frame with the left wheel removed, will help drain any oil
trapped inside the engine. (See "TO REMOVE WHEELS"
in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual).
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place
wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.
2. Clean area around drain plug.
3. Remove drain plug and drain oil in asuitable container.
4. Install drain plug and tighten securely.
5. Wipe off any spilled oil from snow thrower and engine.
6. Install left wheel (if removed fordraining oil). Be sure to
install klick pin into proper hole in wheel axle (See "TO
REMOVE WHEELS" in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual).
7. Remove oil fill cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow dirt
to enter the engine.
8. Refill engine with oil through oil dipstick tube. Pour
slowly. Do not overfill. For approximate capacity see
"PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" section ofthis manual.
9. Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level. Be
sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accurate
reading. Keep oil at "FULL" line on dipstick.
10. Wipe off any spilled oil.
MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it could create a
fire hazard and/or damage.

ENGINE
CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable. Engine performance
should not be affected at altitudes up to 2,134 meters. If
your engine does not operate properly due to suspected
carburetor problems, take your snow thrower to a Sears
service centre/department.
ENGINE SPEED
FIG. 25
STORAGE
Never tamper with the engine governor, which isfactory set
for proper engine speed. Overspeeding the engine above
the factory high speed setting can be dangerous and will
void the warranty. If you think the engine-governed high
speed needs adjusting, contact a Sears service centre/de-
partment, which has the proper equipment and experience
to make any necessary adjustments.
Immediately prepare your snow thrower for storage at the
end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days
or more.
&
WARNING: Never store the snow
thrower with gasoline in the tank inside
a building where fumes may reach an
open flame, spark or pilot light as on a
furnace, water heater, clothes dryer or
gas appliance. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
SNOW THROWER
3.
4.
When snow thrower is to be stored for a period of time,
clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc.
Store in a clean, dry area.
1. Clean entire snow thrower (See "CLEANING" in the
Maintenance section of this manual).
2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary (See "TO RE-
PLACE BELTS" in the Service and Adjustments section
of this manual).
Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance section of this
manual.
5.
Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and pins are securely
fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage
and wear. Replace if necessary.
Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand
lightly before painting.
ENGINE
FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum deposits from
forming in essential fuel system parts such as carburetor,
fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, alcohol blended fuels
(called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids
during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of
an engine while in storage.
• Empty the fuel tank by starting the engine and letting
it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
• Use fresh fuel next season.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in min-
imizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean en-
gine oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Maintenance section of
this manual).
CYLINDER
1. Remove spark plug.
2. Pour approximately one ounce (30 ml) of oil through
spark plug hole into cylinder.
3. Pull recoil starter handle slowlya fewtimes todistribute
oil.
4. Replace with new spark plug.
OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust.
Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline will cause problems.
• If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover
it to protect it from dust and dirt.
• Cover your snow throwerwith a suitable protective cover
that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic
cannot breathe, which allows condensation to form and
will cause your snow thrower to rust.
IMPORTANT: Never cover snow thrower while engine/
exhaust area is still warm.
