cover is removed.

emissions, do not clean filter in gaso- line or other flammable solvent.

INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK ARRESTING SCREEN

,_WARNING:

The muffler on this

product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer.

As your unit is used, carbon deposits build up on the muffler and spark arrest- ing screen. For normal homeowner use, however, the muffler and spark arresting screen will not require any service.

After 50 hours of use, we recommend that your muffler be serviced or re- placed by your Sears Service Center.

REPLACE SPARK PLUG

Replace the spark plug each year to ensure the engine starts easier and runs better. Set spark plug gap at 0.025 inch. Ignition timing is fixed and nonadjustable.

1.Twist, then pull off spark plug boot.

2.Remove spark plug from cylinder and discard.

3.Replace with Champion RCJ-6Y spark plug and tighten securely with a 3/4 inch (19 mm) socket wrench.

4.Reinstall the spark plug boot.
