DRIVE CONTROL

• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of
87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that
can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel freshness.
AWARNING:
Experience indicates that
alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol 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. See Storage Instructions for
additional information. Never use engine
or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel
tank or permanent damage may occur.
A CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank
filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or
use gasoline near an open flame.

• Self-propelling is controlled by holding
the operator presence control bar down
to the handle and pushing the drive
control lever forward until it clicks; then
releasing the lever.
• Forward motion will stop when the
operator presence control bar is
released. To stop forward motion
without stopping engine, release the
operator presence control bar slightly
until the drive control disengages. Hold
operator presence control bar down
against handle to continue mowing
without self-propelling.
• To keep ddve control engaged when
turning corners, push down on handle
and lift front wheels off ground while

ADD OIL
Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in
the engine. Engine holds 20 oz, of oil.
For type and grade of oil to use, see
"ENGINE" in Maintenance section of this
manual.
1. Be sure lawnmower is level and area
around oil fill is clean.
2. Remove engine oil cap and fill to the
full line on the dipstick. Pour oil slowly.
Do not over fill.
NOTE: Allow oil to settle down into engine
for accurate dipstick reading. To read
proper level, tighten engine oil cap, then
remove it to read the dipstick.
3. Reinstall engine oil cap and tighten.
• Check oil level before each use. Add
oil if needed. Fill to full line on dipstick.
• Change the oil after every 25 hours of
operation or each season. You may
need to change the oil more often
under dusty, dirty conditions.
ADD GASOLINE
NOTE: Before filling fuel tank, remove
and discard the debris plug that is inside
the tank.

TO START ENGINE
NOTE: Due to protectivecoatingson the
engine, a small amountof smoke may be
presentduringthe initialuse of the
productand shouldbe considered
normal.
1. To start a coldengine, pushprimer
three (3) timesbeforetryingto start.
Use a firm push. This stepis not
usually necessarywhen startingan
engine which has already run for a
few minutes.
2. Move handle mountedthrottlecontrol
lever to fast position.
3. Hold operatorpresence controlbar
downto the handle and pushstart
button.
IMPORTANT: Do not crankengine more
than five (5) seconds, Wait 5 to 10
secondsbetween each time you try to

• To start engine using the rope starter,
follow the steps above. Exchange the
use of the start button for starter rope.
Do not allow starter rope to snap back.
TO STOP

ENGINE

• To stop engine, move throttle control
lever to slow position and 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 pdming steps.

• Pores in cloth grass catchers can
become filled with dirt and dust with
use and catchers will collect less grass.
To prevent this, regulady hose catcher
off with water and let dry before using.
• Keep top of engine around starter clear
and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and
extend engine life.
MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: For best performance,
keep mower housing free of built-up
grass and trash. See =Cleaning" in
MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
• The special mulching blade will recur the
grass clippingsmany 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 grasswill
biodegrade quicklyto provide nutrientsfor
the lawn. Always mulchwith your highest
engine (blade) speed as thiswill provide
the best recuttingaction of the blades.
• Avoidcuttingyour lawn when it is wet. W_
grass tends to form clumps and interferes
with the mulchingaction. The best time to
mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At
this time the gra_ has dried and the newly
cut area will not be exposed to the direct
sun.
• For best results,adjustthe lawn mower
cuttingheight so thatthe lawn mower cuts
offonlythe top one-thirdof the grass
blades. If the lawn is overgrown it will he
necessary to raisethe heightof cut to
reduce pushingeffort and to kasp from
overloadingthe engine and leaving
clumps of mulched grass. For extremely
heavy mulching,reduce your width of cut
by overlappingpreviously
cutpathand
mow slowly.
• Certain types of grass and grass condiUons may require that an area be mulched
a second time to completely hide the
clippings.When doing a second cut, mow
across or peq:Jendlcularto the first cut path.
• Change your cuttingpattern from week to
wsek. Mow northto south one week then
change to east to _
the next week. This
will help prevent matting and grainingof
the lawn.

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 ovedoading 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 a second
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
ovedap to collect the clippings on the
next pass.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this lawn mower does
not cover items that have been subjected
to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty,
operator must maintain 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
Adjustments section of this manual
should be checked at least once each
season.

• Once a year, replace the spark plug,
clean or replace air filter element and
check blade for wear. A new spark
plug and clean/new air filter element
assures proper air-fuel mixture and
helps your engine run better and last
longer.
• Follow the maintenance schedule in
this manual.

4. Put wheels back in place.
NOTE: If after cleaning, the drive wheels
do not turn freely, contact your nearest
authorized service center.
GEAR CASE
• To keep your drive system working
properly, the gear case and area
around the drive should be kept clean
and free of trash build-up. Clean under
the drive cover twice a season.
• The gear case is filled with lubricant to
the proper level at the factory. The only
time the lubricant needs attention is if
service has been performed on the
gear case.
• If lubricant is required, use only Texaco
Starplex Premium 1 Grease, Part No.
750369. Do not substitute.

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°1=.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
one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before
starting the engine and after each five (5)
hours of continuous use. Tighten oil plug
securely each time you check the oil
level.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
NOTE: Before tipping lawn mower to
drain oil, drain fuel tank by running
engine until fuel tank is empty.
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug and place wire where it cannot
come in contact with spark plug.
2. Remove engine oil cap; lay aside on a
clean surface.
3. Tip lawn mower on its side as shown
and drain oil into a suitable container.
Rock lawn mower back and forth to
remove any oil trapped inside of
engine.
4. Wipe off any spilled oil on lawn mower
and on side of engine.
5. Fill engine with oil. (See "Add Oil" in
the Operacion section of this manual.)
6. Reconnect spark plug wire to spark
plug.

AIR FILTER

SPARK PLUG

Your engine will not run properly and may
be damaged by using a dirty air filter.
Replace the air filter every year, more
often if you mow in very dusty, dirty
conditions.

Change your spark plug each year to
make your engine start easier and run
better. Set spark plug gap at .030 inch.

hotter and shortens engine life.
• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil,etc.
• We do not recommend using s garden
hose to clean lawn mower unless the
electrical system, muffler, air filter and
carburetor are covered to keep water
out. Water in engine can result in
shortened engine life.

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 fast
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 your
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 the
engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous. If you think the
engine-governed high speed needs
adjusting, contact your nearest authorized service center, which has proper
equipment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.
