Craftsman 536.886141 - Manual (Page 14)

snow blowing is accomplished when the
snow is removed immediately after it
falls.
For complete snow removal, slightly over­
lap each path previously taken. Use
more overlap in deep snow to prevent
overloading.
The snow should be discharged down
wind whenever possible. In windy condi­
tions, lower the chute deflector to direct
discharged snow close to the ground,
where it is less likely to blow into un­
wanted areas.
For normal usage, set the skids so that
the scraper bar is 1/8" above the skids.
For extremely hard-packed snow sur­
faces, adjust the skids upward so that the
scraper bar touches the ground.
On gravel or crushed rock surfaces, set
the skids at 1-1/4" below the scraper bar
(See To Adjust Skids Height paragraph
on page 17). Stones and gravel must not
be picked up and thrown by the machine.
® After the snow throwing job has been
completed, allow the engine to idle for a
few minutes, which will melt snow and
accumulated ice off the engine.
0 Clean the snow thrower thoroughly after
each use.
® Remove ice and snow accumulation and
all debris from the entire snow thrower,
and flush with water (if possible) to re­
move all salt or other chemicals. Wipe
snow thrower dry.
