Spark
Arrester
Service
Your engine is not factory-equipped
with a spark
arrester. In some areas, it is illegal to operate an
engine without a spark attester. Check local laws and
regulations. A spark attester is available from your
nearest Sears service center. If you need to order a
spark attester, please call 1-800-366-PART.
The spark attester 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 the
s )ark attester.
WARNING
DO NOT touch
hot surfaces.
Allow
equipment
to cool before touching.
The pressure
washer
must be at least 5 feet from
structures
having
combustible
walls
and/or

Air Coo_ing
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 15). Equally
important is to keep top of engine free from debris.
See "Clean Debris".
Clean 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 15).
