CLEANING f DECK Cleanundersideof themowerdeck after eachuseto preventbuild-up of grassclippingsor otherdebris.Followstepsbelowforthis job. 1. Disconnectspark plug wire. Draingasolinefrom lawnmoweror placea pieceof plasticunderthe gas cap. 2. Tip mowersothat it restson the housing,keepingthe mufflerside down.Hold mowerfirmly. Nevertip the mowermorethan 90o in anydirectionand do not leave I the mowertippedfor any lengthof time. Oil can draininto the upper partof theenginecausinga startingproblem. 3. Scrapeand cleanthe undersideof the deck with a suitabletool. Do not spraywith water. IMPORTANT:Donot usea pressurewasheror garden hoseto clean yourunit. Thesemay causedamageto bearings,or the engine.The useof water will resultin shortenedlife and reduceserviceability. 4.
