ways clean after every 5 hours of
operation.
1. Clean the cover and the area
around it to keep dirt from falling into
the carburetor chamber when the
cover is removed.
2. Remove parts as illustrated.
NOTE: To avoid creating a fire hazard
or producing harmful evaporative
emissions, do not clean filter in gaso-
line or other flammable solvent.
3. Wash the filter in soap and water.
4. Allow filter to dry.
5. Add a few drops of oil to the filter;
squeeze the filter to distribute oil.
6. Replace parts.

INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK
ARRESTING
SCREEN
_WARNING:
The muffler on this
product contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer.
_Jk 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.
