•
Keep top of engine around starter clear and
clean of grass clippings and chaff. This will help
engine air flow and extend engine life.
IMPORTANT
For best performance, keep mower housing free of
built-up grass and trash.
MULCHING MOWING TIPS
•
The special mulching blade will re-cut the
grass clippings many times and reduce them
in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they
will disperse into the grass and not be noticed.
Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly
to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch
with your highest engine (blade) speed, as this
will provide the best re-cutting action of the
blades.
•
Avoid cutting your lawn when grass is wet. Wet
grass can form clumps and interferes with
mulching action. The best time to mow is early
afternoon, by this time the grass shall have
dried and the newly cut area will not be exposed
to sun.
•
For best results, adjust the lawn mower cutting
height so that the lawn mower cuts off only
the top one-third of the grass blades. If the
lawn is overgrown it will be necessary to raise
the height of cut to reduce pushing effort
and to keep from overloading the engine and
leaving clumps of mulched grass. For extremely
heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut
by overlapping previously cut path and mow
slowly.
•
Certain types of grass and grass conditions may
require that an area be mulched a second time
to completely hide the clippings. When doing a
second cut, mow across or perpendicular to the
first cut path.
•
Change your cutting pattern from week to week
mow north to south one week then change
to east to west the next week. This will help
prevent matting and graining of the lawn.
MAINTENANCE
BEFORE EACH USE

LAWNMOWER

TYRE
•
Keep tyres free of fuel, oil, or insect control
chemicals which can harm rubber.
•
Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects
and other hazards that may cause tyre damage.
BLADE CARE
For best results, the mower blade must be kept sharp.
Replace bent or damaged blades. Contact your local
LawnMaster service dealer for mower blade
replacement.
TO SHARPEN BLADE
We do not recommend sharpening the blade.
GRASS CATCHER
•
The grass catcher may be hosed with water, but
must be dry when used.
•
Check your grass catcher often for damage or
deterioration. Through normal use it will wear.
If catcher needs replacing, replace only with a
manufacturer approved replacement catcher.
Give the lawn mower model number when
ordering.
DRIVE WHEELS (SELF PROPELLED)
Check rear drive wheels each time you mow to be
sure they move freely. The wheels not turning freely
means trash, grass cuttings, etc. may be inside the
drive wheel and dust cover area and must be cleaned
out to free drive wheels. If necessary to clean the
drive wheels, check both rear wheels.
1.
Remove hubcaps, bolt, spring lock washer and
washer.
2.
Remove wheels from wheel adjuster axles. If
installed incorrectly, the drive system will not
work.
3.
Remove any trash or grass cutting from inside
the dust cover, pinion and/or drive wheel gear
teeth
NOTE: The pinion gear, on both sides of the mower,
are the same, however, they must be installed
correctly. If installed incorrectly, the drive system will
not work.
4.
Place wheels back on adjuster axles.
5.
Replace spring lock washer, bolt and hub caps.
