GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this lawn mower does not
cover items that have been subjected to op-
erator abuse or negligence. To receive full
value from the war ranty, operator must main-
tain mower as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your unit.
All adjustments in the Service and Adjust-
ments section of this manual should be
checked at least once each season.
• Once a year, replace the spark plug,
clean or replace air fi lter element, and
check blade for wear. A new spark plug
and clean/new air fi lter element assures
proper air-fuel mixture and helps your
en gine run better and last longer.
• Follow the Maintenance Sched ule in this
manual.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Check engine oil level.
• Check for loose fasteners.
LUBRICATION
Keep unit well lubricated
(See “LUBRICATION CHART”).
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease plastic
wheel bearings. Viscous lu bri cants will

attract dust and dirt that will short en the life
of the self-lu bri cat ing bearings. If you feel
they must be lu bri cated, use only a dry,
pow dered graphite type lubricant sparingly.

“VARI-SPEED” DRIVE CONTROL
• Self-propelling is controlled by hold-
ing the operator presence control bar
down to the handle and pulling the drive
control bar up to the handle. The closer
to the handle the bar is pulled, the faster
the unit will travel.
• Forward motion will stop when either the
operator presence control bar or drive
control bar are released. To stop forward
motion without stop ping engine, re lease
the drive control bar only. Hold op er a tor
presence control bar down against
handle to con tin ue mowing without self-
propelling.
NOTE: If after releasing the drive control the
mower will not roll backwards, push the mower
forward slightly to disengage drive wheels.
FRONT WHEEL DRIVE MODELS ONLY:
• To keep drive control engaged when
turning corners, push down on the
handle to lift the front wheels off the
ground while turning lawn mower.
• Rotate thumbscrew counter-clockwise to
tighten the drive cable.
• Operate mower to test drive speed.
• If condition fails to improve after the
above steps (forward speed remains
the same), your drive belt is worn and
should be re placed.
NOTE: If mower begins to "creep" forward,
the drive cable is too tight. Rotate thumb-
screw clockwise to loosen drive cable.
