not mix oil with gasoline.

Definition of Blended Fuels

_ ARNING: DO NOT USE E85 FUEL IN THIS UNIT.

It has been proven that fuel containing greater than 10% ethanol

will likely damage this engine and void the warranty.

Today's fuels are often a blend of gasoline and oxygenates such as ethanol,

methanol or MTBE (ether). Alcohol-blended fuel absorbs water. As little as 1%

water in the fuel can make fuel and oil separate or form acids when stored.

Use fresh fuel (less than 30 days old), when using alcohol-blended fuel.

Using Blended Fuels

If choosing to use a blended fuel, or its use is unavoidable, follow

recommended precautions:

• Always use fresh unleaded gasoline

• Use the fuel additive STA-BIL® or an equivalent

• Drain tank and run the engine dry before storing unit

Using Fuel Additives

The use of fuel additives, such as STA-BIL® Gas Stabilizer or an equivalent, will

inhibit corrosion and minimize the formation of gum deposits. Using a fuel additive

can keep fuel from forming harmful deposits in the carburetor for up to six (6)

months. Add 0.8 oz. (23 ml)of fuel additive per gallon of fuel according to the

instructions on the fuel additive container. NEVER add fuel additives directly to the

unit's gas tank.

WARNING: Gasoline is extremely flammable. Ignited vapors

may explode. Always stop the engine and allow it to cool before

filling the fuel tank. Do not smoke while filling the tank. Keep

sparks and open flames at a distance from the area.

WARNING: Add fuel in a clean, well ventilated outdoor area. Wipe

i _ up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid creating a source of ignition for

spilt fuel. Do not start the engine until fuel vapors dissipate.

FUELING THE UNiT

-- i_ WARNING: Remove fuel cap slowly to avoid injury from fuel

spray. Never operate the unit without the fuel cap securely in place.

1. Remove the fuel cap (Fig. 8).

2. Place the gas container's

spout into the fill hole on the

fuel tank (Fig. 8) and fill the

tank.

NOTE: Do not overfill the tank.

3. Wipe up any gasoline that

may have spilled.

4. Reinstall the fuel cap.

2. Place the engine on a flat,

level surface with the

cutting head shield hanging

off a work bench or table to

get a proper oil level reading (

(Fig. 21).

3. Keep dirt, grass clippings and

other debris out of the engine.

Clean the area around the oil

fill plug before removing it.

4. Remove the oil fill plug.

5. Look into the oil fill hole; use

a flashlight if needed. The oil

should be just touching the

inner most thread (Fig. 22).

6. If the oil level is not touching

the inner most thread on the oil

fill hole, add a small amount of

oil to the oil fill hole and

recheck (Fig.22). Repeat this

procedure until the oil level

reaches the innermost thread

on the oil fill hole.

NOTE: Do not overfill the unit.

NOTE: Make sure the O-ring is

in place on the oil fill plug

when checking and

changing the oil (Fig. 23).

CHANGING THE OIL

Change the oil while the engine is

still warm. The oil will flow freely

and carry away more impurities.

1. Remove the oil fill plug.

2. Pour the oil out of the oil fill

hole and into a container by

tipping the unit to a vertical

position (Fig. 24). Allow

ample time for complete

drainage.

3. Wipe up any oil residue on

the unit and clean up any oil

that may have spilled.

Dispose of the oil according

to federal, state and local

regulations.

4. Refill the crankcase with

3.04 fl.oz. (90 ml) of SAE 30

SF, SG, SH oil.

NOTE: Use the bottle and

spout saved from initial

use to measure the

correct amount of oil.

The top of the label on

the bottle measures

approximately 3.04 fl.oz.

(90 ml) (Fig. 26). Check

the level, See Checking

the Qil Level. If the level

is low, add a small

amount of oil and

recheck. Do not overfill

(Fig. 22).

5. Replace the oil fill plug.

7. Reinstall the air filter cover. Position the slots on the top of the air filter

cover onto the tabs at the top of the back plate

(Fig. 27).

8. Swing the cover down until the tab on the air filter backplate snaps into

place in the slot on the air filter cover (Fig. 27).

IDLE SPEED ADJUSTMENT

_ ARNING: The cutting attachment may spin during idle speed

adjustments. Wear protective clothing and observe all safety

instructions to prevent serious personal injury.

The idle speed of the engine is adjustable. An idle adjustment screw is

between the air filter cover and the engine starter housing (Fig. 29).

NOTE: Careless adjustments

can seriously damage Idle Adjustment

Screw

the unit. Aside from idle

speed, only a Sears or

other qualified service

dealer should make

carburetor adjustments.

If, after checking the fuel and

cleaning the air filter, the engine

still will not idle, adjust the idle

speed screw as follows: Fig. 29

1. Start the engine and let it run at a high idle for a minute to warm up.

Refer to Starting/Stopping Instructions.

2. Release the throttle trigger and let the engine idle. If the engine stops,

insert a small Phillips screwdriver in between the air filter cover and the

engine cover (Fig. 29). Turn the idle speed screw in, clockwise, 1/8 of a

turn at a time (as needed) until the engine idles smoothly.

NOTE: The cutting attachment should not rotate when the engine idles.

3. If the cutting attachment rotates when the engine idles, turn the idle

speed screw counterclockwise 1/8 of a turn at a time (as needed), to

reduce idle speed.

Checking the fuel, cleaning the air filter, and adjusting the idle speed should

solve most engine problems. If not and any of the following are true have the

unit serviced by a Sears or other qualified service dealer:

• the engine will not idle

the engine hesitates or stalls on acceleration

there is a loss of engine power

Fig. 26

ROCKER ARM CLEARANCE

This requires disassembly of the engine. If unsure or unqualified to perform this,

take the unit to a Sears or other qualified service dealer.

• The engine must be cold when

checking or adjusting the valve

clearance.

This task should be performed

inside, in a clean, dust free area. Screws

1. Remove the six (6) screws on

the back of the engine cover

with a Flat-head or T-25 Torx

screwdriver (Fig. 30).

2. Disconnect the spark plug wire.

3. Clean dirt from around the

spark plug. Remove the spark

plug from the cylinder head by

turning a 5/8 in. socket

counterclockwise.

4. Remove the engine cover

(Fig. 30).

5. Clean dirt from around the

rocker arm cover. Remove

the screw holding the rocker

arm cover with a large flat

blade screwdriver or Torx T-

25 bit (Fig. 31). Remove the

rocker arm cover and gasket.

6. Pull the starter rope slowly to

bring the piston to the top of

its travel, (known as top dead

center). Check that:

The piston is at the top of its

travel. This should be done by Arms

looking into the spark plug hole.

(Fig.31)

Both rocker arms move freely,

and both valves are closed

If these statements are not true,

repeat step 6.

7. Slide the feeler gauge between

the rocker arm and the valve

return spring. Measure the

clearance between the valve

stem and rocker arm (Fig. 33).

Measure both the intake and

exhaust valves.

The recommended clearance for

both intake and exhaust is .003 -
