decals using a damp cloth with a mild deter-

gent.

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.

1. Clean the cover and the area around it to

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.

INSPECT MUFFLER AND SPARK

ARRESTING 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 and

must be removed to avoid creating a fire haz-

ard or affecting engine performance.

For normal homeowner use, the muffler and

spark arresting screen will not require any

service. After 50 hours of use, we recom-

mend that your muffler be serviced or re-

placed by an 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.
