Pre-Start Check List
Make the following checks and perform the service required
before each start-up.
1. Check the guards, deflectors, grass bag, adapter, and
covers to make sure all are in place and securely
tightened.
2. Check the blade control
(A, Figure 1)
, wheel drive
control
(B)
, and ground speed control
(C)
to insure they
work freely.
3. Check the cutting height. Adjust to the desired height.
Refer to the Section entitled ‘Cutting Height Adjustment’.
4. Check the engine oil
(A, Figure 2)
and add oil as needed
to bring the level up to the full mark. Refer to the Engine
Owner’s Manual for oil specifications.
5. Add fuel to the tank after pushing the mower outside
where fumes can safely dissipate. Fill the tank to 1-1/2
inches below the top of the filler neck (to allow for fuel
expansion). Make sure the cap

is tightened
after fueling. Refer to the Engine Owners Manual for fuel
specifications.
6. Clean the exterior surfaces of the cutting deck and
engine of any accumulation of spilled fuel, dirt, grass,
oil, etc. Keep the engine air intake screen and cooling
fins clear at all times.
