SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

CLEANING

IMPORTANT:

  For best performance, keep 

mower housing free of built-up grass and 
trash. Clean the underside of your mower 
after each use.

 CAUTION:  

Disconnect spark plug wire 

from spark plug and place wire where it 
cannot come into contact with 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.

CLEAN UNDER DRIVE COVER

Clean under drive cover at least twice a 
season. Scrape underside of cover with 
putty knife or similar tool to remove any 
build-up of trash or grass on underside of 
drive cover.

hours of operation, whichever occurs 
fi rst.  Spark plug type and gap setting 
are shown in the “PROD UCT SPEC I FI C-
A TIONS” section of this manual.

 WARNING:

  To avoid serious injury,

REAR DEFLECTOR

be thrown out of the rear of the mower 
into the operator mowing position. If the 
defl ector becomes dam aged, it should be 
replaced.
