removing the hex shaft, piece the sprocket on the hex
shaft. Position the hex hub of the sprocket toward the
friction wheei when siiding the sprocket on to the hex
shaft. See Figure 37.

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.
A
WARNING: if any adjustments are made to
the engine while the engine is running (e.g.
carburetor), keep clear of all moving parts. Be
careful of heated surfaces and muffler.
