Thoroughly inspect all material to be shredded and
remove any metal, rocks, bottles, cans, or other
foreign objects which could cause personal injury
or damage to the machine.
If the impeller strikes a foreign object or if your
machine should start making an unusual noise or
vibration, immediately shut the engine off. Allow the
impeller to come to a complete stop. Disconnect
the spark plug wire, ground it against the engine
and perform the following steps:
a. Inspect fordamage.
b. Repair or replace any damaged parts.
c. Check for any loose parts and tighten to
assure continued safe operation.
Do not allow an accumulation of processed
material to build up in the discharge area. This can
prevent proper discharge and result in kickback of
material through the feed opening.
Do not attempt to shred or chip material larger than
specified on the machine or in this manual.
Personal injury or machine damage could result.
Never attempt to unclog either the feed intake or
discharge opening while the engine is running.
Shut the engine off, wait until all moving parts have
stopped, disconnect the spark plug wire and
ground it against the engine before clearing debris.

Look For Relevant Emissions Durability Period and
Air Index Information
On Your Engine Emissions
Label
Engines that are certified to meet the California Air Resources Board (CARB)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 & Maintenance 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 walk-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
Engine Emissions Compliance Label

Period

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 Emissions 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 Model Series 210000 is 344 cc, 280000 is 465 cc, 310000 engines is 501 cc.

This is a generic representation of the
emission label typically found on a
certified engine.

Oil Viscosity Chart

Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30, etc.)
improve starting in cold weather, they will result in
increased oil consumption when used above 32°F.
Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oil.
Check the oil level making certain not to rub the
dipstick along the inside walls of the oil fill tube.
This would result in a false dipstick reading. Refill
to FULL mark on dipstick, if necessary. Capacity
is approximately 18 oz. Overfilling will cause the
engine to smoke profusely and will result in poor
engine performance.

Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using
fuel stabilizer.
In all cases, drain all the oil from the crankcase (this
should be done after the engine has been operated
and is still warm) and refill the crankcase with fresh
oil.

Prepare your Craftsman Yard Vacuum for storage at
the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for
30 days or longer. A yearly check-up by your local
Sears Parts & Repair Center is a good way to ensure
that the unit runs properly next season.

•

If you do not use a fuel stabilizer, follow these
instructions:

Clean the equipment thoroughly.
Wipe equipment with an oiled rag to prevent rust.
Use a light oil or silicone to wipe.
Service the engine following instructions below.
Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials such as fertilizer.

IMPORTANT:It is important to prevent gum deposits
from forming in essential fuel system parts such as
the carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose, or tank during
storage. Also, alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which
leads to separation and formation of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an
engine while in storage.

•
•
•

Do not store gasoline from one season to
another.
Replace the gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust
and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause problems.
Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next
to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

NOTE: If storing in an unventilated or metal storage
shed, be certain to rustproof the equipment by coating with a light oil or silicone.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative to
emptying the tank of fuel in minimizing the formation
of fuel gum deposits during storage.
•

Drain the fuel from the tank by running the
engine until the fuel tank is empty.
Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2
ounce (approximately one tablespoon) of engine
oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil.
Replace spark plug.

Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage
container.
