Maintenance Procedure

Before each use or daily

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

bar.

After each use

• Clean grass clippings and dirt from under the machine.

Every 25 hours

• Check the air cleaner for dirty, loose, or damaged parts, and clean or replace them

if necessary.

Every 100 hours

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

in dusty or dirty operating conditions).

• 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

• 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.

Maintenance Safety

Disconnect the spark-plug wire from the spark plug
before performing any maintenance procedure.

Wear gloves and eye protection when servicing the
machine.

The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can result in
serious personal injury. Wear gloves when servicing the
blade.

Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper
operation regularly.

Tipping the machine may cause the fuel to leak. Fuel is
flammable and explosive, and can cause personal injury.
Run the engine dry to remove the fuel with a hand pump;
never siphon the fuel.

Preparing for Maintenance

1.

Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to
stop.

2.

Disconnect the spark-plug wire from the spark plug
(

Figure 19

before performing any maintenance

procedure.

Spark-plug wire

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.
