ENCLOSED, POORLY VENTILATED AREAS, WHERE FUELI
FUMES MAY REACH AN OPEN FLAME, SPARK OR PILOT I
LIGHT AS ON A FURNACE, WATER HEATER, CLOTHES
DRYER OR OTHER GAS APPLIANCE.
IF ENGINE IS TO BE UNUSED FOR 30 DAYS OR MORE,
PREPARE AS FOLLOWS:
(_) DRAIN FUEL SYSTEM:
A. Remove all gasoline from carburetor and fuel tank to prevent
gum deposits from forming on these parts and causing possi-
ble malfunction of engine.
AWAY FROM OPEN FLAME. BE SURE ENGINE IS COOL.
_h, DRAIN FUEL INTO APPROVED CONTAINER OUTDOORS,
DO NOT SMOKE.
B. Run engine until fuel tank is empty and engine stops due to
lack of fuel.
NOTE: Fuel stabilizer (such as ULTRA-FRESH TM) is an
acceptable alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel gum
deposits during storage. Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank
or storage container. Always follow mix ratio found on stabilizer
container. Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer
to allow it to reach carburetor.

ADJUSTMENTS
DO NOT MAKE UNNECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS. FACTORY SET-
TINGS ARE SATISFACTORY FOR MOST APPLICATIONS AND
CONDITIONS. IF ADJUSTMENTS ARE NEEDED, PROCEED AS
FOLLOWS:
@ CARBURETOR
If you think your carburetor needs adjusting, see your nearest
SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. (OR SEARS CANADA CENTER).
Engine performance should not be affected at altitudes up to
7,000 feet. For operation at higher elevations, contact your
nearest SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. (OR SEARS CANADA,
INC.) SERVICE CENTER.
(_) ENGINE SPEED
_ NEVER TAMPER WITH ENGINE GOVERNOR WHICH IS FAC-
TORY SET FOR PROPER ENGINE SPEED. OVERSPEEDING
ENGINE ABOVE FACTORY HIGH SPEED SETTING CAN BE
DANGEROUS.
CHANGING OF ENGINE-GOVERNED SPEED WILL VOID EN-
GINE WARRANTY.
_ AVOID SPRAY FROM SPARK PLUG HOLE WHEN ICRANKING ENGINE OVER SLOWLY.
D. Replace spark plug.
(_ CLEAN ENGINE:
Remove any clippings, dirt, or chaff from exterior of engine.
GENERAL
Justas your automobile needs professional mechanical maintenance
from time to time, so does your Craftsman engine. Replacement of the
spark plug and air cleaner is made necessary by NORMAL use.
Professional Air-Cooled Engine Service is as close as your nearest
Sears Roebuck and Co. (or Sears Canada, Inc.) Service Center.
A yearly check-up or tune-up by Sears is a good idea to avoid
breakdowns or delay.., do it at the end of the season, then you're
ready for the next. We even prepare it for storage for you.
