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 fill to the

full line on the dipstick.

NOTE: Allow oil to settle down into

engine for accurate reading.

• Engine holds 20 ozs. of oil. For type

and grade of oil to use, see "ENGINE"

in maintenance section of this manual.

• Pour oil slowly. Do not over fill.

• Check oil level 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 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

•Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded gasoline with a minimum of

87 octane(Use of leaded gasoline will

increase carbon and lead oxide

deposits and reduce valve life). Do not

mix oil with gasoline. Purchase fuel in

quantities that can be used within 30

days to assure fuel freshness.

_WARNING: 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 fuel tank, start the

engine and let it run until 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 fuel tank

or permanent damage may occur.

_I,CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or u,_

gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

•To start a cold engine, push primer

three (3) times before trying to start.

Use a firm 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 not allow starter

rope to snap back.

• To stop engine, release operator

presence control bar.

NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessaq

to repeat priming steps. In warmer weather

over priming may cause flooding and engine

will not start. If you do flood engine wait a fen

minutes before attempting to start and do not

repeat priming steps.

MOWINGTIPS

•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.

•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 performance, keep

mower housing free of built-up grass and

trash. See "Cleaning" in MAINTENANCE

section of this manual.

•The special mulching blade will recut the

gross clippings many times and reduce

them in size so that as they fall onto the

lawn they will disperse into the grass and

not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass

will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients

for the lawn. Always mulch with your

highest engine (blade) speed as this will

provide the best recutting action of the

blades.

•Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet

grass tends to form clumps and interferes

with the mulching action. The best time to

mow your lawn is the early aftemson. 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

cutting height so 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 height of cut to

reduce pushing effort and to keep from

overloading the engine and leaving

clumps of mulched grass. For extremely

heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut

by overlapping previously cut path and

mow slowly.

•Certain types of grass and grass conditions

may require that an area be mulched a

second time to completely hide the

clippings. When doing a second cut, mow

acmas or perpendicular to the first cut path.

•Change your cutting pattem from week to

week. Mow north 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

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 Adjust-

ments 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 lest

longer.

• Follow the maintenance schedule in this

manual.

BEFORE EACH USE

• Check engine oil level.

• Check for loose fasteners.

LUBRICATION

Keep unit well lubricated (See "LUBRICATION

CHART").

plug.

•Clean the underside of your lawn

mower by scraping to remove build-up

of grass and trash.

•Clean engine often to keep trash from

accumulating. A clogged engine runs

hotter and shortens engine life.

•Keep finished surfaces and wheels free

of all gasoline, oil,etc.

•We do not recommend using a 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.

_CAUTION: Before performing any service

or adjustments:

• Release control bar and stop engine.

• Make sure the blade and all moving

parts have completely stopped.

• Disconnect spark plug wire from

spark plug and place where it cannot

come in contact with plug.

ENGINE SPEED

Your engine speed has been factory set

Do not attempt to increase engine spec

or it may result in personal injury. If you

believe that the engine is running too fa

or too slow, take your lawn mower to an

authorized service center/department fi

repair and adjustment.

main jet for mixture control. If your engine

does not operate propedy due to suspecte_

carburetor problems, take your lawn mow(

to an authorized service center/department

for repair and adjustment.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the engin,

governor, which is factory set for proper

engine speed. Overspeeding the engine

above the factory high speed setting can b_

dangerous, if you think the engine-goveme

high speed needs adjusting, contact your

nearest authorized service center, which ha

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 Med.-

When lawn mower is to be stored for a period Low

of time, clean if thoroughly, remove all dirt,

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

•Clean entire lawn mower (See "CLEANING"

in the Maintenance section of this manual).

•Lubricate as shown in the Maintenance

section of this manual.

•Be sure that all nuts, belts, screws, and pins ENGINE

are securely fastened. Inspect moving

parts for damage, breakage and wear.

Replace if necessary.

• Touch up all rusted or chipped paint

surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

HANDLE

• You can fold your lawn mower handle for

storage.

•Loosen the two (2) handle knobs on sides of

the upper handle and allow handle to fold

down to the rear.

• Squeeze the bottom ends of lower handle

toward each other until pins in handle clear

the brackets and pivot entire handle

assembly forward and allow it to rest on

mower.

FUELSYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gum

deposits from forming in essential fuel system

parts such as carburetor, fuel filter, fuel hose,

or tank during storage. Also, experience

indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called

gasohel 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.

•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

altemative 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 stabilizer to

reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas

tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINEOIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with

clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in the

Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER

• Remove spark plug.

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

plug hole into cylinder.

•Pull starter handle slowly a few times to

distribute oil.

•Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season to

16 another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can

starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your

gasoline will cause problems.

•If possible, store your unit indoors and

cover it to give protection from dust and dirt.

•Cover your unit with a suitable protective

cover that does not retain moisture. Do not

use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe which

allows condensation to form and will cause

your unit to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover mower while

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.

A, CAUTION" Never store the lawn mower

with gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame or

spark. Allow the engine to cool before

storing in any enclosure.
