INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK
ARRESTING SCREEN
'_kWARNING: 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.
