Maintenance & Adjustments

If your mower is equipped with ball bearing wheels,

lubricate at least once a season with a light oil, all other

types require no lubrication. However, if the wheels are

removed for any reason, lubricate the surface of the

axle bolt and the inner surface of the wheel with light

automotive oil.
The transmission is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory

and does not require lubrication.
Follow the accompanying engine manual for lubrication

schedule and instruction for engine lubrication.

Deck Care

Clean underside of the mower deck after each use to prevent

build-up of grass clippings or other debris. Follow steps below

for this job.

Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain gasoline from lawn

mower or place a piece of plastic under the gas cap.

Tip mower so that it rests on the housing. Keep the side

with the air cleaner facing up. Hold mower firmly.

WARNING:

Never tip the mower more than 90º in

any direction and do not leave the mower tipped for

any length of time. Oil can drain into the upper part

of the engine causing a starting problem.

Scrape and clean the underside of the deck with a suitable

tool. Do not spray with water.

IMPORTANT:

Do not use a pressure washer or garden hose

to clean your unit. These may cause damage to bearings,

or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life

and reduce serviceability.

Put the mower back on its wheels on the ground. If you had

put plastic under the gas cap earlier, make sure to remove it

now.

Maintenance

General Recommendations

Always observe safety rules when performing any

maintenance.
The warranty on this lawn mower does not cover items that

have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To

receive full value from warranty, operator must maintain

the lawn mower as instructed here.
Changing of engine-governed speed will void engine

warranty.

All adjustments should be checked at least once each

season.

Periodically check all fasteners and make sure these are

tight.

WARNING:

Always stop engine, disconnect spark

plug, and ground against engine before performing

any type of maintenance on your machine.

Lubrication

Lubricate pivot points on the blade control at least once a

season with light oil. The blade control must operate freely

in both directions. See Fig. 6-1.
