Important! Before You Start Mowing - Craftsman 536.885600 Operator's Manual

PREPARATION
HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE
ENGINE DOES NOT CONTAIN OIL OR GASOLINE
See "Before Starting The Engine" in the Operation section for the
type of oil and gasoline to use. Before you use the unit, read the
information on safety, operation, maintenance, and storage.
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with an internal
combustion engine and must not be used on or near any
unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or
grass-covered land unless the engine's exhaust system is
equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local or
state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it must be
maintained in effective working order by the operator.
In the State of California the above is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal lands. See a Sears Service Center for a spark
arrester for the muffler.
In some areas, local law requires the use of a resistor spark
plug to control the ignition signals. See a Sears Service
Center for a resistor spark plug for the engine.
FINAL PREPARATION
Before you mow, check the handle and the controls. Make sure
all fasteners are tight.
_ ARNING: Before doing any assembly or mainte-
nance to the mower, remove the wire from the spark
plug.
