REPAIR PROTECTION AGREEMENT
A Repair Protection Agreement is available on this unit. See the

Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and
certain vehicle components contain or emit

cause cancer and birth defects or other repro-

NOTE: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion engine
and must not be used on or near any unimproved forest-covered,
brush-covered or grass-covered land unless the engine's exhaust
system is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local
or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it must be
maintained in effective working order by the operator.
In the State of California, the above is required by law (Section
4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states may
have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands. See a
Sears Service Center for a spark arrester for the muffler.
In some areas, local law requires the use of a resistor spark plug
to control the ignition signals. See a Sears Service Center for a
resistor spark plug for the engine.
NOTE: Actual sustained horsepower will likely be lower due
to operating limitations and environmental factors.
