As your unit is used, carbon deposits
build up on the muffler and spark arrest-
ing screen. For normal homeowner
use, however, the muffler and spark ar-
resting screen will not require any ser-
vice. After 50 hours of use, we recom-
mend that your muffler be serviced or
replaced 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
nonad ustable.
1. Twst, then pu 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.
LINE REPLACEMENT
Pre-wound
spools offer the most con-
venient method for replacing line and
ensuring optimum performance.
* Replacement spools are color-
coded to ensure use of the correct
spool with your unit. Be sure to use
the same color spool as the existing
spool.
NOTE:
Always clear dirt and debris
from cutting head components
when
performing any type of maintenance.
* Hold spool and unscrew cap by turn-
ing in the direction shown on top of
