GRASS CATCHER
The grass catcher may be hosed with
water, but must be dry when used,
Check your grass catcher often for
damage or deterioration. Through
normal use it will wear. If catcher
needs replacing, replace only with a
manufacturer approved replacement
catcher. Give the lawn mower model
number when ordering.
DRIVE WHEELS
Check rear drive wheels each time you
mow to be sure they move freely. The
wheels not turning freely means trash,
grass cuttings, etc., may be inside the
drive wheel and dust cover area and
must be cleaned out to free drive wheels.
If necessary to clean the drive wheels,
check both rear wheels.
1. Remove hubcaps and Iocknuts.
2. Remove wheels from wheel adjuster
axles.
3. Remove any trash or grass cuttings
from inside the dust cover, pinion and/
or drive wheel gear teeth.
4. If you remove the drive pinions, wipe
clean with dry cloth. Reassemble dry.
Do not lubricate. Do not use oil or
grease.
NOTE: The pinion gear, on both sides of
the mower, are the same, however, they
must be installed correctly. If installed
incorrectly, the drive system will not work.
5. There are arrows embossed on both
sides of the pinion gear. With the
arrow at the top of the pinion, the
arrow must point towards front of
mower. If the arrow points to the rear,
turn the pinion around and assemble
to mower.
6. Place wheels back on adjuster axles.
7. Replace Iocknuts and hubcaps.

LUBRICATION
Use only high quality detergent oil rated
with API service classification SF-SJ.
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 oils
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
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.
