Important:
A bolt torqued to 60 ft-lb (82 N
⋅⋅⋅
m)
is very tight. While holding the blade with a
block of wood, put your weight behind the
ratchet or wrench and tighten the bolt securely.
This bolt is very difficult to overtighten.
Cleaning the Mower
Service Interval:
Before each use or daily
The mower may dislodge material from under
the mower housing.
•
Wear eye protection.
•
Stay in the operating position (behind the
handle) when the engine is running.
•
Do not allow bystanders in the area.
For best results, clean the mower soon after you have
completed mowing.
1. Lower the mower to its lowest cutting height setting.
Refer to Adjusting the Cutting Height.
2. Move the mower onto a flat paved surface.
3. Attach a garden hose that is connected to a water
supply to the washout port on the mower housing
(Figure 33).

housing.
6. Stop the engine.
7. Shut off the water and disconnect the garden hose
from the mower.
8. Start the engine and run it for a few minutes to dry
the housing.
Storage

Preparing the Mower for
Storage
Gasoline vapors can explode.
•
Do not store gasoline more than 30 days.
•
Do not store the mower in an enclosure near
an open flame.
•
Allow the engine to cool before storing it.
1. On the last refueling of the year, add fuel stabilizer
to the fuel as directed by the engine manufacturer.
2. Run the mower until the engine stops from running
out of fuel.
3. Allow the engine to run until it stops. When you can
no longer start the engine, it is sufficiently dry.
4. Remove the wire from the spark plug and connect
the wire onto the retaining post.
5. Remove the spark plug, add 1 oz. (30 ml) of oil
through the spark plug hole, and pull the starter rope
slowly several times to distribute oil throughout the
cylinder to prevent cylinder corrosion during the
off-season.
6. Loosely install the spark plug.
7. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws.
