Carburetor

If you think your carburetor needs adjusting, see your
nearest Sears service center. Engine performance
may be affected at altitudes above 3000 feet. For
operation at higher elevations, contact your nearest
Sears service center.
Clean Spark Arrester Screen
The engine exhaust muffler has a spark arrester
screen. Inspect and clean the screen every 100 hours
of operation or once each year, whichever comes first.
WARNING
Running engines produce heat.
Temperature of muffler and nearby areas
can reach or exceed 150°F (65°C).
Severe burns can occur on contact.
Combustible debris, such as leaves, grass,
brush, ect. can catch fire.
• DO NOT touch hot surfaces.
• Allow equipment to cool before touching.
• The generator must be at least 5 feet from structures having
combustible walls and/or other combustible materials.
• Keep at least 3 feet of clearance on all sides of generator
for adequate cooling, maintenance and servicing.
• In the State of California a spark arrester is required by law
(Section 4442 of the California Public Resources Code).
Other states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on
federal lands. If you equip the muffler with a spark arrester,
it must be maintained in effective working order.
NOTE: You can purchase a new spark arrester screen
by calling 1-800-366-PART.
If you use your generator on any forest-covered, brush-
covered, or grass-covered unimproved land, it must
have a spark arrester. The spark arrester must be
maintained in good condition by the owner/operator.
Clean and inspect the spark arrester as follows:
1. To remove muffler heat shield from muffler, remove
four screws that connect guard to muffler bracket.

2. Remove four screws that attach spark arrester
screen.
3. Inspect screen and replace if torn, perforated or
otherwise damaged. DO NOT use a defective
screen. If screen is not damaged, clean it with
commercial solvent.
4. Reattach screen and muffler guard.
Air Cooling 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 13). Equally
important is to keep top of engine free from debris.
See "Generator Cleaning".
