Snow Blowers

The Craftsman 208cc 24inch Dual Stage Snowblower has a powerful 208 cc PowerMore OHV engine to provide that extra power you need to go through the deepest drifts of snow and ice. Twelve inch augers with a 12 inch impeller provides a dual stage snow clearing with lots of snow clearing capability and the 24 inch wide clearing width will make short work of most driveways in urban American and Canada.

Operators can control the snow blower with one hand from either while at the same time managing the direction of the chute so that snow can be thrown in what ever direction is needed to avoid hitting buildings, windows or cars. The arctic polymer chute will not crack and will not rust and will withstand the rigor of dealing with snow an ice. Never point the chute in the direction of another person to avoid any possibility of them being hit with ice chips.

Delivery: Delivery of the Craftsman 208cc 24inch Dual Stage Snowblower can be arranged through the dealer that you purchase the machine from. There will be a delivery charge, however this is probably the most economical method unless you have access to a van or a small trailer that you can transport the snow blower on.

Accessories: Most snow blowers can add a wind shield or snow shield to them to protect you from three sides from the wind and snow. If you live in a climate with lots of wind and blowing snow this accessory is defiantly something to consider.

Safety & Operation

This craftsman snow blower is a powerful machine and should be treated with safety in mind. Carefully read all of the safety guidelines in the manual prior to operating the machine for the first time. Follow these guidelines to ensure that both you and the machine do not have an accident.

Prior to starting the Craftsman 208cc 24inch Dual Stage Snowblower  the first time each day, perform a quick walk around check of the machine. Ensure there are no loose parts and no leaking fluids. Check the engine oil to ensure that it is at the correct level as specified by the manual. Top up if necessary. Fill the fuel tank while the engine is cold and prior to using the machine. If you do spill fuel, wait until it has fully evaporated prior to starting the engine. Never spill fuel on a hot engine to avoid fires. Always fill the fuel tank outdoors to avoid any possibility of vapors going into your house.

Finally never point the chute in the direction of people, buildings or cars to avoid any possible damage and accidents. Sometimes chunks of ice can be thrown at high speed from the chute and if they hit something, it can cause a lot of damage.

Maintenance

Like all snow blowers or snow throwers, maintenance is important for your machine to operate at a peak level for many years. Change the engine oil regularly. Check the belts for tightness. Change the spark plug as required. Grease any spots outlined in the manual. If you need to leave the snow blower outside all year round, cover the machine with a proper cover. The cover will help to keep it looking new and avoid deterioration of the tires and metal components.
