INSPECT AND CLEAN UNIT AND LA-

BELS

After each use, inspect complete unit for loose or damaged parts. Clean the unit and labels using a damp cloth with a mild detergent.

Wipe off unit with a clean dry cloth.

CLEAN AIR FILTER

A dirty air filter decreases engine per- formance and increases fuel con-

sumption and harmful emissions. Al- ways clean after every 5 hours of operation.

1.Clean the cover and the area

around it to keep dirt from falling into the carburetor chamber when the cover is removed.

2.Remove parts by pressing latch to release air filter cover.

NOTE: To avoid creating a fire hazard or producing harmful evaporative

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

3.Wash the filter in soap and water.

5.Add a few drops of oil to the filter; squeeze the filter to distribute oil,

6.Replace parts.

INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK ARRESTING SCREEN

'_WARNING:

The muffler on this

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

,_WARNING:

Muffler is very hot

during and after use. Do not touch the muffler or allow combustible material

such as dry grass or fuel to do so.

As your unit is used, carbon deposits build up on the muffler and spark ar- resting screen. For normal homeown- er 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 socket wrench.

4.Reinstall the spark plug boot.
