INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK ARRESTING SCREEN

AO&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.
