TO REMOVE WHEELS (See Fig. 21)
Remove the klik pin and remove wheel from axle.

leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your local parts
dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.
IMPORTANT: When installing wheel, be sure to use the
axle hole closest to the end of the shaft – do not use the
hole in the wheel hub (if equipped). Inner hole in axle and
holeinwheelhubarenotusedforyourmodelsnowthrower.
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
Never tamper with the engine governor, which is factory 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.

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.

allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

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. Alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or metha-
nol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can dam-
age the fuel system of an engine while in storage.
•
•
If possible, store your snow thrower indoors and cover
it to protect it from dust and dirt.
Cover your snow thrower with 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.
