BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

OIL

Your lawn mower is shipped without oil in the

engine.

•Be sure mower is level and area around oil

fill is clean.

•Remove engine oil cap and fillto the full

line on the dipstick.

NOTE: Allow oil to settle down into engine

for accurate dipstick reading.

•Engine holds 20 ozs. of oil. For type and

grade of oilto use, see "ENGINE" in

Maintenance section of this manual.

• Pour oil slowly. Do not over fill

• Check oillevel before each use. Add oil if

needed. Fill to full line on dipstick.

•To read proper level, tighten engine oil cap

each time.

• Reinstall engine oil cap and tighten.

• Change the oilafter every 25 hours of

operation or each season. You may need

to change the oil more often under dusty,

dirty conditions.

ADD GASOLINE

•Fillfuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87

octane. Do not mix oilwith gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quantities that can be

used within 30 days to assure fuel

freshness.

_WARNING: Expedence indicates that

alcohol blended fuels (called gesohol or

using ethanol or methanol) can attract

moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic

gas can damage the fuel system of an

engine while in storage. To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be

emptied before storage of 30 days or

longer. Drain the gas tank, start the

engine and let it run until the fuel lines

and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel

next season. Sea Storage Instructions for

additional information. Never use engine

or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.

ACAUTION: Fill to bosom of gas.tank

TO START ENGINE

• To start acold engine, push primer three

(3) times before tryingto start. Use afinn

push. This step is not usually necessary

when starting an engine which has

already run for a few minutes.

•Move throttle control lever to fast

position.

• Hold operator presence control bar down

to the handle and pull starter handle

quickly. Do notallow starter rope to snap

back.

•To stop engine, release operator presence

control bar.

NOTE: In cooler weather it may be

necessary to repeat priming steps. In

warmer weather over priming may cause

flooding and engine will not start. If you

do flood engine, wait a few minutes

before attempting to start and do not

repeat priming steps.

MOWING TIPS

•Under certain conditions, such as very

tall grass, it may be necessary to raise

the height of cut to reduce pushing

effort and to keep from overloading the

engine and leaving clumps of grass

clippings. It may also be necessary to

reduce ground speed and/or run the

lawn mower over the area asecond

time.

•For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the

width of cut by overlapping previously

cut path and mow slowly.

• For better grass bagging and most

cutting conditions, the engine speed

should be set in the fast position.

•When using a rear discharge lawn

mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps of

cut grass may not enter the grass

catcher. Reduce ground speed

(pushing speed) and/or run the lawn

mower over the area a second time.

•If a trail of clippings is left on the right

side of a rear discharge mower, mow in

a clockwise direction with a small

overlap to collect the clippings )n the

next pass.

• Pores in cloth grass catchers can

become filled with dirt and dust with

use and catchers will collect less gras

To prevent this, regularly hose catche

off with water and let dry before using

•Keep top of engine around starter cle

and clean of grass clippings and char

This will help engine air flow and

extend engine life.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep

mower housingfree of built-upgrass and

trash. See "Cleaning" in Maintenance secticr

of this manual.

•The special mulching blade will recut the

grass clippings many times and reduce

them in size so that as they fall ontothe

lawn they will disperse intothe grass and

not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass

biodegrade quicklyto provide nutrientsfor

the lawn. Always mulch with your highest

engine (blade) speed as this will provide tt

best recuttingactionof the blades.

• Avoid cuttingyour lawn when itis wet. Wi

grass tends to form clumps and interferes

with the mulching action. The best time tc

mow your lawn is the early affemoon. At

thistime the grass has dried and the newl_

cut area will not be exposed to the direct

sun.

• For best results,adjustthe lawn mower

cutting height so that the lawn mower cuts

off only the top one-third of the grass blade

If the lawn is overgrown it willbe necessar

to raise the height ofcut to reduce pushi_

effortand to keep from overloading the

engine and leaving dumps of mulched

grass. For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width ofcut by overlapping

previously cut path and mow slowly.

°Certain types of grass and grass conditio_

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 firstcut path

•Change your cuttingpattern from week to

week. Mow nerth to south one week then

change to east to west the next week. Th_

will help prevent matting and graln'_j of th,

lawn.

SH. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade

according to your expected operating

temperature.

SAE VISCOSITY GRADES

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils

(5W30, 10W30 etc.) improve starting in

cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils

will result in increased oil consumption

when used above 32°F. Check your

engine oil level more frequently to avoid

possible engine damage from running

low on oil.

Change the oil after every 25 hours of

operation or at least once a year if the

lawn mower is not used for 25 hours in

ENGINE SPEED

Your engine speed has been factory set.

Do not attempt to increase engine speed

or it may result in personal injury. If you

believe that the engine is running too fas

or too slow, take your lawn mower to an

authorized service center for repair and

adjustment.

CARBURETOR

Your carburetor has a non-adjustable

fixed main jet for mixture control. If your

engine does not operate properly due to

suspected carburetor problems, take ym

.. lawn mower to an authorized service

center for repair and/or adjustment.

IMPORTANT: never tamper with the

engine governor, which is factory set for

proper engine speed. Overspeeding th_

engine above the factory high speed

setting can be dangerous, if you think th

engine-governed high speed needs

adjusting, contact your nearest authorz_

service center, which has proper

equipment and experience to make any

necessary adjustments.

Immediately prepare your lawn mower for

storage at the end of the season or if the unit

will not be used for 30 days or more.

LAWN MOWER

When lawn mower is to be stored for a period

of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt,

grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area.

•Clean entire lawn mower (See "CLEAN-

ING" in the Maintenance section of this

manual).

FUELSYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is importantto prevent gum

deposits from forming in essential fuel system

parts such as carburetor,f fuel filter,fuel hose

or tank during storage. Also, experience

indicates that alcohol blended fuels ( called

gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can

attract moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids duringstorage. Acidic gas

can damage the fuel system of an engine

while in storage.

• Drain the fuel tank.

• Start the engine and let it run until the fuel

lines and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable

alternative in minimizing the formation of fuel

gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizer

to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.

Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer

container. Run engine at least 10 minutes

after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizerto

reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas

tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

Hairpin

cotter

ENGINEOIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with

clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" inthe

Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER

•Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through spark

plug hole into cylinder.

•Pull starter handle slowly a few times to

distribute oil.

•Replace with new spark plug.
