SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENT
How to Change Engine Oil
Be sure the engine is not operating and is located on a level
surface before checking or refilling oil. Engine should be warm
for easy removal of oil.
1. Detach spark plug wire and move away from spark plug.
If the engine uses a battery, disconnect at negative
terminal.
2. Remove dipstick and carefully tip the engine toward the
dipstick side to empty oil from oil fill area. Empty oil into
a suitable oil container and dispose of oil properly.
SEE
FIGURE 7
3. Tip engine back onto a level surface and fill with
appropriate oil to the top of the marking on the dipstick
(SEE FIGURE 8)
.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
For proper oil
capacity and specification, see the engine manufacturer's
instructions.
4. Reinsert dipstick and tighten.
How to Replace the Mower Line
For the best performance, use a heavy gauge (0.155” (4 mm)
diameter) mower line. Cut the length of the mower line to 15"
(381 mm). Use the length guide, located on the shield, to make
sure the mower line is the correct length. Place one end of the
mower line at location "A" and bend it along the raised portion
of the shield. Cut line at location "B".
SEE FIGURE 9
NOTE: Do not allow the length of the lines to vary more
than one inch. This is important to make sure the mower
head is balanced and does not vibrate.
To extend the life of the mower line, keep the
mower line moist. If not kept moist, the nylon
mower line will become dry and brittle. Keep extra
mower line in a can of water. The line will then stay
flexible and easy to change. A flexible line will also
last much longer.
1. Stop the engine. Wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Remove the worn mower line from the line retainer
by pulling on exposed 1" line from outfeed hole.
SEE
FIGURE 10
3. Push one end of the new mower line through the
insertion hole in the head.
SEE FIGURE 10
4. Push the line in until approximately 1 " (25 mm) is exposed
on the outfeed side.
5. Repeat for each of the four locations.
Make sure the line length is the
same at all four locations.
WARNING
BEFORE YOU INSPECT, CLEAN OR SERVICE THE
MOWER, STOP THE ENGINE. MAKE SURE THAT ALL
MOVING PARTS HAVE STOPPED. DISCONNECT
THE WIRE FROM THE SPARK PLUG.
