Read and follow the maintenance schedule and the maintenance procedures listed in this section.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Fill in dates as you
complete regular service.

BEFORE EACH USE

CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS

1. Make a thorough visual check of the Mow-N- Vac for

any bolts and nuts which may have loosened.
Retighten any loose bolts and nuts.

CHECK VINYL BOOT

2. Check the soft vinyl boot (on front of hard top) for

wear. Replace if worn or damaged.

CHECK TIRE PRESSURE

3. Check tire pressure regularly. Recommended tire

pressure is 12-14 Lbs.

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

4. Check oil level before each use. Maintain engine oil

as instructed in the separate engine manual.

LUBRICATION

1. At the beginning of each season, lubricate the latch,

latch pivot bolt, and the axle where the hitch tongue
pivots, with a light machine oil.

2. At least once a season, grease or oil the wheel

bearings. Use automotive wheel bearing type grease
or 20 weight oil.

WARNING:   

Always stop engine and

disconnect spark plug wire before clean-
ing, lubricating or before performing any
repairs or maintenance.

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

1. Check 

oil level

 before each use. Maintain engine oil

as instructed in the separate engine manual.

2. Service 

air cleaner

 every 25 hours under normal

conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely
dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and
flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should
be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the
separate engine manual.

3. The 

spark plug

 should be cleaned and the gap reset

once a season. Spark plug replacement is recom-
mended at the start of each season. Check the
engine manual for correct plug type and gap specifi-
cations.

CLEANING

1. Make sure the cart, the side and front panels and top

are cleaned after each use.  Grass clippings and
leaves left in the cart will mildew and cause damage
if not cleaned out.

2.

Clean the engine

 regularly with a cloth or brush.

Keep the cooling fins on the engine housing clean to
permit proper air circulation which is essential to
engine performance and life. Be sure to remove all
dirt and debris from muffler area.

STORAGE

3. If storing in an unventilated or metal storage shed,

coat metal parts with light oil or silicone to prevent
rust.

4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.

1. Clean the engine and the entire unit thoroughly.
2. Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage

instructions.
