NOTE: Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emission control devices and system may be performed by any non-road engine repair estab- lishment, individual or authorized service dealer.

In order to assure peak performance of your engine, inspection of the engine exhaust port may be necessary after 50 hours of operation. If you notice lost RPM, poor performance, or general lack of acceleration, this service may be required. If you feel your engine is need of this inspection, refer to a Sears service center. DO NOT attempt to perform this process yourself as engine damage may result from contaminants envolved in the cleaning process for the port.

WARNING: Always stop engine and dis- connect spark plug wire before cleaning or doing any kind of maintenance on your cultivator / edger.

Checking Oil

WARNING: To prevent extensive engine wear and damage to the unit, always maintain the proper oil level in the crank- case. Never operate the unit with the oil level below the bottom of the dipstick.

Check oil before each use.

Stop engine and allow oil to drain into the crankcase.

When checking oil, the unit must be laid back in the horizontal position on a flat surface with the upper handle touching the ground.

See Figure 8.

Keep dirt and debris out of the engine. Clean the area around the oil fill plug/dipstick before removing it.

Figure 8

Remove the oil fill plug/dipstick and wipe off oil. Reinsert it all the way back in.

Remove the oil fill plug/dipstick and check oil level. Oil should be up to the top of the dipstick. Refer to Figure 4.

If the level is low, add a small amount of oil to the oil fill hole and recheck. Repeat until the oil level reaches the top of the dipstick. See Figure 9.

NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is in place on the oil fill plug/dipstick when checking and changing the oil.

Changing Oil

Remove the oil fill plug/dipstick.

Tip the unit back or away from the air filter to pour the oil out of the oil fill hole and into a container.

Wipe up any oil residue on the unit and clean up any oil that may have spilled. Dispose of the oil according to federal, state, and local regulations.
