Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Title 36 Parks,<br />
Forests, and Public Property require equipment powered<br />
by an internal combustion engine to have a spark<br />
arrester, maintained in effective working order, complying<br />
to USDA Forest service standard 5100-1C or later<br />
revision. In the State of California a spark attester is<br />
required under section 4442 of the California Public<br />
resources code. Other states may have similar laws.<br />
6. Install spark plug, tighten securely.<br />
NOTE: You can purchase a new spark plug by calling<br />
1-800-4-MY-HOME (469-4663).<br />
Spark Attester Service<br />
Your engine is not factory-equipped with a spark attester.<br />
in some areas, it is illegal to operate an engine without a<br />
spark attester. Check local laws and regulations. A spark<br />
arrester is available from your nearest Sears service<br />
center. If you need to order a spark attester, please call<br />
1-800-4-1_IY-HOME (469-4663}.<br />
The spark arrester<br />
keep it functioning<br />
must be serviced every 50 hours to<br />
as designed.<br />
If the engine has been running, the muffler will be very<br />
hot. Allow the muffler to cool before servicing the<br />
spark arrester.<br />
• Remove spark attester screen for cleaning and<br />
inspection.<br />
• Replace if screen is damaged.<br />
Air Cooling System<br />
Over time debris may accumulate in cylinder cooling<br />
fins and cannot be observed without partial engine<br />
disassembly. For this reason, we recommend you<br />
have a Sears or other qualified service dealer clean<br />
the cooling system per recommended intervals (see<br />
"Maintenance Schedule" on page 16). Equally<br />
important is to keep top of engine free from debris.<br />
See "Clean Debris".<br />
