thrower type engines, Take your snow
thrower to your nearest SEARS Service

Your engine speed has been factory set. Do
not attempt to change engine speed or it may

the engine is running too fast or too slow, take
your snow thrower to your nearest SEARS

ENGINE STORAGE
Gasoline must be removed or treated to
prevent gum deposits from forming in the
tank, filter, hose, and carburetor during
storage. Also during storage, alcohol
blended gasoline that uses ethanol 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 tank is empty and the engine stops_
Then drain remaining gasoline from
carburetor by pressing upward on bowl
drain located on the bottom of carburetor°
See next figure.

o If you do not want to remove gasoline, a
fuel stabilizer (such as Craftsman fuel
stabilizer No. 33500) may be added to
any gasoline left in the tank to minimize
gum deposits and acids° If the tank is
almost empty, mix stabilizer with fresh
gasoline in a separate container and add
some to the tank. Always follow instruc-
tions on stabilizer container. Instructions
on stabilizer container. Then run engine
at least 10 minutes after stabilizer is
added to allow mixture to reach carbure-
tor. Store snow thrower in a safe place.
See Warning under STORAGE.
OTHER
° If possible, store your snow thrower
indoors with the gas removed and cover it
