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.

WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol

blended fuels (called gasohoror using ethanol

or methanol) can attract moisture which leads

to separation and forTnation of acids during

storage, Acidic gas can damage the fuel

system of an engine wh!le in st0rage, To avoid

engine problems, the fuel system should be

emptied before storage of 30 days or longer,

Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it

MOWING TIPS

o Under certain conditions, such as very

t_tll grass, it may be necessaryto raise

the height of cut to reduce pushing effort

and tc keep from overloading the engine

and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It

may also be necessa_ 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 (push-

ing 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 hos_'catcher off

with water and le! dry bef0re using.

o Keep top cf 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: Forbest performance, keep

mower housing free of built-up grass and

trash. See "Cleaning" in MAINTENANCE

section of this manual.

= The special rnulching blade will recur the

grass clippings many times and reduce

them in size so thatas they fall onto the

lawn they will disperse intothe grass and

not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will

blodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for

the lawn. Always mulch with your highest

engine (blade) speed as this wl!l provide the

best recuttlng action of the blades.

o Avoid cutting your lawn when it iswet. Wet

grass tends toform clumps and interferes

with the mulching action. The best t_meto

mow your lawn Isthe early afternoon. At this

time the grass has dried and the newly cut

area will not be exposed to the direct sun.

o For best results, adjust the lawn mower

cutting height so that the lawn mower Cuts

off only the top one-thirdof the grass blades.

If the lawn is overgrown it will be necessary

to raise the height 0f cut to reduqe pushing

effort and to keep from overloading the

engtne and leaving clumps of mu_ched

grass. For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width cf cut by cverfapping

previously cut path and mow slowly.

o Certain types of grass and grass conditions

may require thatan area be mulched a

second time to completely hide the

clippings. When doing a second cut, mow

across or perpend{cular to the first cut path.

• Changeyour cutting pattern from week to

week. Mow north to south one week then

change to east to west the next week. This

wilt help prevent matting and graining of the

lawn.

° "rum lawn mower on its side. Make sure air

filter and carburetor are up. Clean the

underside of your lawn mower by scraping

to remove buildup of grass and trash,

• Clean engine often to keep trash from

accumulating. A_clogged engine runs hotter

and shortens engtne life.

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.

CLEAN UNDER DRIVE COVER

Clean under drive cover at least twice a

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

iMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential fuel

system parts such as carburetor, fuel filter;

fuel hose, of"tank during storage. Also,

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.

• 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

alternative In minimizing the formation Of

fuel gum deposits during storage. Add

stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage

container. Always follow the mtx ratio

found on stabilizer container. Run engine

at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer

to allow the stabilizer to reach the carbure-

tor. Do not drain the gastank and

carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace

with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" tn

the Maintenance section of this manual),

CYLINDER

• Remove spark plug.

° Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through

Spark plug hole into cylinder_

• Pull starter handle slowly a few times to

distribute oil. '

= Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

= Donot store gasoline from one season

to 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 gtve 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

wilt cause your unit to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover mower while

engine and exhaust a_eaS are still warm.

_Ib.CAUTION: Never store the lawn

mower with gasoline in the tank instde a

building where fumes may reach an open

flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool

before storing in any enclosure.

CONSEJOS PARASEGAR

° Bajo ciertas oondiciones, tal como c_sped

muy alto, puede ser necesario e! elevar la

altura del corte para reducir el esfuerzo

necesario para empuiar Jasegadora y para

evitar sobrecargar el motor, dejando

montones de recortes de c6sped. Puede que

sea necesado reducir ta velocidad del

reoorffdo ylo haga flmclonar la segadora

sobre el _rea per segunda vez.

, Para un corte muy pesado, reduzca el anoho

del corto pasando parctalmente per encima

del lugar anteriormenle cortado y siegue

lentamenle,

• Para un meier ensaoado del c6sped y para la

mayoffa de las condiciones de corte, la

velecidad del motor debe ajustarse a la

posici6n de r_.pidoo

° Cuando use una segadora con descarga

trasera en c_sped hOmedoy pesado, los

montones del c_sped cortado puede que no

entren en el recogedor de c_sped. Reduzca

}a veIocidad del recorrldo (velocidad de

empuje) y/o haga funcionar la segadora

sobre el _.reaper segunda vez.

o Si queda una huella de cortes an el lade

derecho de una segadora con descarga

trasera, siegue en la direcciSn en que girar_

las manillas del reloj0solapando un poco para

recaudar los recortes en la prSxima pasada.,

° Los pores en los recogedores de c_sped de

tela pueden llenarse con mugre y polvo con

el use y los recogedores recaudar_n menos

c_sped, Para evitar _sto, reefs el recogedor

con la manguera de agua regularmente y

d_jelo secarse antes de usado.

• M&ntenga la parts superior del motor,
