Maintenance Procedure

After the first 5 hours

• Change the engine oil.

Before each use or daily

• Check the engine oil level.
• Ensure that the engine stops within 3 seconds after releasing the blade-control bar.

After each use

• Clean grass clippings and dirt from under the machine.

Every 25 hours

• Replace the air-cleaner element (more frequently when operating the machine in

dusty or dirty operating conditions).

• Charge the battery for 24 hours.

Every 100 hours

• Clean the cooling system (refer to your engine owner's manual).
• Replace the spark plug.

Before storage

• Empty the fuel tank before repairs as directed and before annual storage.

Yearly

• Change the engine oil.
• Replace the blade or have it sharpened (more frequently if the edge dulls quickly).
• Refer to your engine owner's manual for any additional yearly maintenance

procedures.

Important:

Refer to your engine owner's manual for additional maintenance procedures.

Preparing for Maintenance

1.

Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.

2.

Disconnect the spark-plug wire from the spark plug
(Figure 16) before performing any maintenance
procedure.

3.

After performing the maintenance procedure(s),
connect the spark-plug wire to the spark plug.

Important:

Before tipping the machine to change

the oil or replace the blade, allow the fuel tank to
run dry through normal usage. If you must tip
the machine prior to running out of fuel, use a
hand fuel pump to remove the fuel. Always tip the
machine onto its side with the dipstick down.

WARNING

Tipping the machine may cause the fuel to
leak. Gasoline is flammable, explosive and
can cause personal injury.

Run the engine dry or remove the gasoline
with a hand pump; never siphon.
