Important:
Position the curved ends of the
blade to point toward the mower housing.
6. Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt to
60 ft-lb (82 N-m).
Important:
A bolt torqued to 60 ft-lb (82 N-m)
is very tight. While holding the blade with a
block of wood, put your weight behind the
ratchet or wrench and tighten the bolt securely.
This bolt is very difficult to overtighten.
Cleaning the Mower
Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The mower may dislodge material from under
the mower housing.
• Wear eye protection.
• Stay in the operating position (behind the
handle).
• Do not allow bystanders in the area.
1. With the engine running on a flat paved surface,
spray a stream of water in front of the right rear
wheel (Figure 47).
The water will splash into the path of the blade,
cleaning out the clippings.
Figure 47
2. When no more clippings come out, stop the water
and move the mower to a dry area.
3. Run the engine for a few minutes to dry the housing
to prevent it from rusting.
Storage
Store the mower in a cool, clean, dry place.
Preparing the Mower for
Storage
Gasoline vapors can explode.
• Do not store gasoline more than 30 days.
• Do not store the mower in an enclosure near
an open flame.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing it.
