removing the hex shaft, place the sprocket on the hex
shaft. Position the hex hub of the sprocket toward the
friction wheel when sliding the sprocket on to the hex

Carburetor
If you think the carburetor needs to be adjusted, see
your nearest authorized Sears Service Outlet.
If your snow thrower is left unused for 30 days or
longer, it needs to be prepared for storage. Also, at the
end of the snow season, you should follow the same set
of instructions and store the snow thrower properly for
the off-season. Proper storage ensures longer life of
the snow thrower.
