SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with the spark plug.
• Clean the underside of your lawn mower
by scraping to remove build-up of grass
and trash.
• Clean engine often to keep trash from
accumulating. A clogged engine runs
hotter and shortens engine life.
• Keep fi nished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
• We do not recommend using a garden
hose to clean lawn mower unless the
electrical system, muffl er, air fi lter and
carburetor are covered to keep water
out. Water in engine can result in short-
ened engine life.
MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffl er as it
could create a fi re hazard and/or dam age.
SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plug at the beginning of
each mowing season or after every 100
hours of operation, whichever occurs
fi rst. Spark plug type and gap setting are
shown in “PROD UCT SPEC I FI CA TIONS”

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep
mower housing free of built-up grass and
trash. Clean the underside of your mower

REAR DEFLECTOR
The rear defl ector, attached between the
rear wheels of your mower, is provided to
minimize the possibility that objects will
be thrown out of the rear of the mower

defl ector becomes dam aged, it should be
replaced.

low position. The mounting holes in the
bottom of lower handle are off center for

NOTE: The upper handle has an “anti-fold”
bracket located on the right side of the
handle. This bracket prevents the upper
handle from folding forward, which helps
protect control cable(s) from damage.

from mounting pins.
