BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

OIL

Your lawn mower is shipped withoutoil in the

engiRe.

•Be sure mower is level and area around oil

fillis ctean.

•Remove engine oilcap and fillto the full line

on the dipstick.

•Use 20 ozs. of oil. For type and grade of oil

to use, see "ENGINE" in Maintenance

ssction of this manual.

•Pouroil slowly. Do not overfill.

• Check oil level before each use. Add oilif

needed. Fillto full lineon dipstick.

•To read proper level, tighten engine oil cap

each time.

• Reinstall engine oil cap and tighten.

•Change the oilafter every 25 hou_ of

operation or each season. You may need

to change the oilmore often under dusty,

dirtyconditions.

TO START ENGINE

•To stad a cold engine, push primerfive (5)

times before tryingto start. Use afirm push.

This step is not usually necessary when

startingan engine which has already run for

a few minutes.

•Hold operator presence control bar down to

the handte and pullstarter handle quiddy.

Do not allow starter rope to snap beck.

•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.

_IOWING 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 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 overlap

to collect the clippings on the next pass.

Pores in cloth grass catchers can

become filled with dirt and dust with use

and catchers will collect less grass. To

prevent this, regularly 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 parformance, keep

mower housingfree of built-upgrass and

trash. See =Cleaning" in Maintenance section

ofthis manual.

•The special mulching blade will recut the

grass clippingsmany times and reduce

them in size so that as they fall onto the

lawn they willdisperse into the grassand

not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will

biodegrede quickly to provide nutrientsfor

the lawn. Always mulch with your highest

engine (blade) speed as this will providethe

best recurringa_on of the blades.

•Avotd cuttingyour lawn when it iswet. Wet

grass tends to form dumps and interferes

with the mulchingaction. The best time to

mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At

this time the grass has dried and the newly

cut area will not be exposed to the direct

sun.

•For best results,adjust the lawn mower

cuttingheightso that the lawn mower cuts

off only the top one-third of the grass blades.

If the lawn is overgrown it will be necessary

to raise the heightof cut to reduce pushing

effortand to keep from overloading the

engine and leaving clumps of mulched

grass. For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your wicl_ of cut by overlapping

previouslycut path and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grass conddions

may requirethat an area be mulched a

second time to completely hide the

clippings. When doing a second cut,mow

acrossor perpendicularto the firstcut path.

•Change your cuttingpattern from week to

week. Mow nodh to south one week then

change to east to west the next week. This

will help prevent matting and graining of the

lawn.

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

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,

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.

BEFORE EACH USE

•Check engine oil level.

•Check for loose fasteners.

wear. If catcher needs replacing, replace

only with a manufacturer approved

replacement catcher. Give the lawn mower

model number when ordering.

DRIVE WHEELS

Check front drive wheels each time before

you mow to be sure they move freely.

The wheels not turning freely means trash,

grass cuttings, etc. are in the drive wheel

area and must be cleaned to free drive

wheels.

If necessary to clean the drive wheels,

check both fro_t wheels.

• Remove hubcaps, hairpin cotters and

washers.

• Remove wheels from wheel adjusters.

LUBRICATION

Use only high quality detergent oil rated

with API service classification SF, SG or

SH. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade

according to your expected operating

temperature.

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils

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

cold weather, these multi-viscosity 0ils

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

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: Itis important to prevent gum

depositsfrom forming in essential fuel system

parts such as carburetor,f fuel tilter,fuel hose

or tank during storage. Aleo, exper_eoce

indicatesthat alcohol blended fuels ( called

gasohol or usingethanol or methanol) can

attract moisturewhich leads to separation and

formation of acids duringstorage. Acidicgas

can damage the fuel system of an engine

while instorage.

•Drain the fuel tank.

• Stad the engine and let it n._ untilthe fuel

lines and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engina or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

•Use fresh fuel next seeson.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizeris an acceptable

aitemative inminimizing the formation of fuel

gum deposits during storage. Add stabilizerto

gasoline in fueltank or storage container.

Always followthe mix ratiofound on stabilizer

container. Run engine at least 10 minutes

after adding stabilizerto allow the stabilizerto

reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas

tank and carburetorif usingfuel stabilizer.
