CLEAN AIR FILTER

A dirty air filter decreases engine perform-

ance and increases fuel consumption and

harmful emissions. Always clean after every

5 hours of operation.

keep dirt from falling into the carburetor

chamber when the cover is removed.

2. Remove parts by pressing button to re-

lease air filter cover.

NOTE:

To avoid creating a fire hazard or

producing harmful evaporative emissions, do

not clean filter in gasoline or other flammable

solvent.

3. Wash the filter in soap and water.

4. Allow filter to dry.

5. Replace parts.

MUFFLER AND SPARK ARREST-

ING SCREEN

WARNING:

The muffler on this prod-

uct contains chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer.

As your unit is used, carbon deposits build up

on the muffler and spark arresting screen.

For normal homeowner use, however, the

muffler and spark arresting screen will not re-

quire any service. After 50 hours of use, we

recommend that your muffler be serviced or

replaced by your authorized service dealer.

REPLACE SPARK PLUG

Replace the spark plug each year to ensure

the engine starts easier and runs better. Set

spark plug gap at 0.025 inch (0.6 mm). Igni-

tion timing is fixed and nonadjustable.

NOTE:

This spark ignition system complies

with the Canadian standard ICES--002.

1. Twist, then pull off spark plug boot.

2. Remove spark plug from cylinder and

discard.

3. Replace with Champion RCJ-6Y spark

plug and tighten securely with a 3/4 inch

(19 mm) socket wrench.

4. Reinstall the spark plug boot.
