SAFE OPERATION PRACTICES
WARNING: Engine Exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit
chemicals known to State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
A
DANGER: This machine was built to be operated according to the rules for safe operation in this manual. As with any type
of power equipment, carelessness or error on the part of the operator can result in serious injury. This machine is capable
of amputating hands and feet and throwing objects. Eailure to observe the following safety instructions could result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING: This symbol points out important safety instructions which, if not followed, could endanger the
personal safety and/or property of yourself and others. Read and follow all instructions in this manual before
attempting to operate this machine. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in personal injury.
A
Training Preparation
1.
Read, understand, and follow ail instructions on the machine and in the
manuai(s) before attempting to assemble and operate. Keep this manual
in a safe place for future and regular reference and for ordering replace
ment parts.
2. Be familiar with all controls and their proper operation. Know how to stop
the machine and disengage them quickly.

16 years old and over should read and understand the operation instruc
tions and safety rules in this manual and should be trained and supervised
by a parent.
4. Never allow adults to operate this machine without proper instruction.
5. Keep bystanders, helpers, pets, and children at least 75 feet from the
machine while it is in operation. Stop machine If anyone enters the area.
6. Never run an engine Indoors or In a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust
contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
7. Do not put hands and feet near rotating parts or in the feeding chambers
and discharge opening. Contact with the rotating impeller can amputate
fingers, hands, and feet.
8. Never attempt to unclog either the feed Intake or discharge opening,

Notice regarding Emissions
Engines which are certified to comply with California and federal ERA emission
regulations for SORE (Smaii Off Road Equipment) are certified to operate on
regular unleaded gasoline, and may include the following emission control sys
tems: Engine Modification (EM) and Three Way Catalyst (TWC) if so equipped.
Your Responsibility
Restrict the use of this power machine to persons who read, understand and
follow the warnings and instructions in this manual and on the machine.
Look For Relevant Emissions Dyrability Period and
Air index Information On Your Engine Emissions Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (GARB) Tier 2 Emission Standards must
display information regarding the Emissions Durability Period and the Air Index. Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A.
makes this information available to the consumer on our emission labels.
The Emissions Durability Period describes the number of hours of actual running time for which the engine is
certified to be emissions compliant, assuming proper maintenance in accordance with the Operating & Mainte
nance Instructions. The following categories are used:
Moderate: Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 125 hours of actual engine running time,
intermediate: Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 250 hours of actual engine running time.
Extended: Engine is certified to be emission compliant for 500 hours of actual engine running time.
For example, a typical waik-behind lawn mower is used 20 to 25 hours per year. Therefore, the Emissions
Durability Period of an engine with an intermediate rating would equate to 10 to 12 years.
The Air Index is a calculated number describing the relative level of emissions for a specific engine family. The
lower the Air index, the cleaner the engine. This information is displayed in graphical form on the emissions label.
After July 1,2000, Look For Emissions Compliance Period
On Engine Emissions Compliance Label
After July 1, 2000 certain Sears, Roebuck and Co., U.S.A. engines will be certified to meet the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Phase 2 emission standards. For Phase 2 certified engines, the Emis
sions Compliance Period referred to on the Emissions Compliance label indicates the number of operating hours
for which the engine has been shown to meet Federal emission requirements.
For engines less than 225 cc displacement, Category C = 125 hours, B = 250 hours and A = 500 hours.
For engines of 225 cc or more, Category C = 250 hours, B = 500 hours and A = 1000 hours.
The displacement engines of Mode! Series 150112 is 249 cc.
This is a generic representation of the emission label typically found on a certified engine.
