TO CONVERT

MOWER

Your mower is shipped ready to be used as a
mulcher. To convert to bagging/discharging:
• Lift discharge
guard and remove
mulcher plate.
• Mower can now be used for side discharge
or optional grass catcher can be attached.
• To return to mulching operation, simply
reinstall mulcher plate as shown.

Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.
You receive a container of oil with the

unit. Slowly pour the entire container
down the oil fill spout into the engine.
NOTE: Initial oil fill requires only 18 oz.
due to residual oil in engine from the
manufacturers
100% quality testing. When
changing oil you may need 20 oz.
4. Insert and tighten dipstick.
IMPORTANT:
• 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.
See "TO
CHANGE ENGINE OIL" in the Maintenance section of this manual.

• To change cutting height, squeeze
adjuster lever toward wheel. Move wheel
up or down to suit your requirements.
Be
sure all wheels are in the same setting.

ADD GASOLINE
• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck.
Do not overfill. 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.
CAUTION:
Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
A CAUTION:
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. Empty 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.

to start and
do not repeat priming steps.
MOWING
TIPS
A CAUTION:
Do not use de-thatcher
blade attachments
on your mower. Such
attachments
are hazardous,
will damage
your mower and could void your warranty.
• 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.
• Keeptopofenginearoundstarterclearand
clean of grass clippings and chaff.This will
help engine air flow & extend engine life.
MULCHING

MOWING

TIPS

IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep mower housing free of built-up
grass and trash. See "CLEANING"
in the
Maintenance
section of this manual.
• The special mulching blade will recut the
grass clippings
many times and reduce
them in size so that as they fall onto the
lawn they will disperse into the grass and
notbe 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
mowyour lawn is the early afternoon. Atthis
time the grass has dried, yet the newly cut
area will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• 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
grass, reduce your width of cut by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.

1/3

• 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 across
(perpendicular)
to the first cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern 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.
