GENERAL
Just as your automobile needs professional'mechanical mainte-
nance from time to time, so does your Craftsman engine. Replace-
ment of the spark plug and air cleaner is made necessary by
NO RMAL use. Professional Air-Cooled Engine Service is asclose 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.
