CLEANING
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep
mower housing free of built--up grass and
trash. Clean underside of mower housing
after each use.
CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with the spark
plug.
• Turn lawn mower on its side. Make sure
air filter and carburetor are up. 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.
• 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.
