MUFFLER
AND SPARK
ARRESTING
SCREEN
As the 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 rec-
ommend
that your muffler and spark
arresting
screen be serviced
or re-
placed by a Sears Service Center.

CARBURETOR
ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the carburetor is a compli-
cated task. Carburetor adjustment
is
critical and if done improperly can per-
manently damage the engine as well as
the carburetor. We recommend that you
take your unit to a Sears Service Center
for any necessary adjustments.
