Craftsman 536.88614 Snow Blower User Manual


 
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.
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
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.
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.
