The spark plug should be cleaned and the the electrode gap checked once a season. A spark plug
replacement is recommended at the start of each mowing season. Refer to point 8 of this manual for correct
plug type and electrode gap specifications.
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clean to
permit proper air circulation which is essential to engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all grass
and dirt from the muffler area.
In order to have a valid warranty, your lawn mower should be checked by a motorist once a season.
