GASANDOILFILL-UP
Oil (one bottle shipped with unit)
First Time Use
• Remove oil fill dipstick.
• With the Yard Vacuum on level ground, use a
funnel to empty entire contents of oil bottle
provided into the engine.
• Replace oil fill dipstick and tighten.
Subsequent Uses
Only use high quality detergent oil rated with API
service classification SF, SG, or SH. Select the oil's
SAE viscosity grade according to the expected
operating temperature. Follow the chart below.

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.
• Replace oil fill dipstick and tighten.
• Keep oil level at FULL. Running the engine with
too little oil can result in permanent engine
damage.
Gasoline
• Remove fuel cap from the fuel tank.
• Make sure the container from which you will pour
the gasoline is clean and free from rust or foreign
particles. Never use gasoline that may be stale
from long periods of storage in its container.
Gasoline that has been sitting for any period
longer than four weeks should be considered
stale.
• Fill fuel tank with clean, fresh, unleaded regular
gasoline only. Do not use gasoline containing
METHANOL. Replace fuel cap.
• To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should
be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer.
Drain the fuel from the tank by running the engine
until the fuel tank is empty. Use fresh fuel next
season. See STORAGE section for additional
information.
• Check the fuel level periodically to avoid running
out of gasoline while operating the Yard Vacuum.
If the unit runs out of gas as it is chipping, it may
be necessary to unclog the discharge area before
it can be restarted. Refer to SERVICE AND
ADJUSTMENT section on page 16.
FreshStart TM Gas Cap
This unit is equipped with a FreshStart TM continuous
fuel preserver gas cap which automatically drips
continuous fuel preserver into your fuel tank for up to
six months depending on conditions, such as
temperature, usage patterns, fuel type and blend. To
activate the gas cap, follow the instructions below:
1. Snap the fuel preserver cartridge that comes with
your unit into the fuel cap.
2. Peel off the white tab from the cartridge.
3. Twist the FreshStart TM cap onto the fuel tank.
When you visually see that the fuel preserver
cartridge is empty, replacement cartridges are
available through your local Sears Parts & Repair
Center and most Sears stores.
WARNING: Use extreme care when
handling gasoline. Gasoline is extremely
flammable and the vapors are explosive.
Never fuel machine indoors or while the
engine is hot or running. Extinguish
cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and other
sources of ignition.
