could create a fire hazard and/or damage.

your engine start easier and run better. Set

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep
mower housing free of built-up grass and
trash. Clean the underside of your mower
after each use.

filter and carburetor are up. Clean the
underside of your lawn mower by scraping

carburetor are covered to keep water out.
Water in engine can result in shortened
