WARNING!
Never operate this unit with a dam-
aged or missing muffler or spark
arrester! Operating with missing or
damaged exhaust components is a
fire hazard, and may also damage
your hearing.
Hard starting or a gradual loss of
performance may be caused by carbon
deposits lodged in the muffler's spark
arrester screen. In such cases, per-
formance can usually be restored by
removing the spark arrester screen and
giving it a thorough cleaning with a stiff
bristle brush.
 Carefully remove any accumulations
of dirt or debris from the muffler
and fuel tank. Dirt buildup in these
areas can lead to engine overheating,
premature wear or fire.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the unit if the air
cleaner or element is damaged, or if
the element is wet.
