Spark Arrester Service
Your engine is not factory-equipped with a spark
attester. In some areas, it is illegal to operate an
engine without a spark arrester. Check local laws and
regulations. A spark attester is available from your
nearest Sears service center. If you need to order a
spark arrester, contact your local Sears service center.
The spark arrester must be serviced every 50 hours to
keep it functioning as designed.
if the engine has been running, the muffler will be very
hot. Allow the muffler to cool before servicing spark
attester.
WARNING
DO NOT touch hot surfaces,
Allow equipment to coo! before touching.
The pressure washer must be at least 5 feet from
structures having combustible walls and/or other
combustible materials,
Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of pressure
washer for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws, Federal laws apply on
federal lands, If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester,
it must be maintained in effective working order,
• Remove spark attester screen for cleaning and
inspection.

Air Cooling System
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling
fins and cannot be observed without partial engine
disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you have
an authorized Sears service dealer clean the cooling
system per recommended intervals (see "Maintenance
Schedule" on page 14). Equally important is to keep top
of engine free from debris. See "Clean Debris".
Keep areas within heavy line clear of debris.
C_ean Combustion Chamber
We recommend you have an authorized Sears service
dealer remove combustion deposits from the cylinder,
cylinder head, top of piston and around valves per
recommended intervals (see "Maintenance Schedule"
on page 14).
