GENERAL

If you think your carburetor needs adjusting, see your nearest
SEARS, ROEBUCK AND CO. (OR SEARS CANADA, INC.)
SERVICE 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

Just as 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.

in the engine manufacturer's
application for certification.

Warranty Period. Any such part repaired or replaced under the ECS
Warranty shall be warranted for the remainder of the ECS Warranty
Period.

3.

Any warranted, emissions-related
part which is scheduled for replacement
as required maintenance in the Owner's Manual, shall be warranted for the
period of time prior to the first scheduled replacement point for that part
