IMPORTANT TIPS TO HELP YOUR LAWN MOWER START FASTER, RUN AND PERFORM BETTER
1. USEUNLEADED GASOLINE: It burns cleaner and leaves lessresidue inthe engine. Regular gasoline can
also be used. DO NOT use gasoline containing any alcohol or with any additives.
2. DRAIN OR RUN-OUT ALL GASOLINE FROM TANK AT THE END OF THE SEASON: DO NOT leave gaso-
linein your mower when stored for long periods. It will "GUM" your engine. Run engine until the gaso-
line runs out.
3. STARTEACH MOWING SEASON WITH FRESHGASOLINE: DO NOT keep gasoline in your can. If your
gasoline can is starting to rust, replace can.
4. CHANGE YOUR SPARKPLUG EVERYSPRING: An aid, corroded spark plug prevents fast starting and
smooth running engine.
5. REPLACEYOUR AIR CLEANER OR FILTEROFTEN: Dirt, along with heat can harm your engine, the
cleaner or filter will clog up, preventing clean air from reaching your engine. See "Air CJeaner/Fitter"
section of this manual for replacing air cleaner or filter.
6. USE SAE 10W30 OIL: DO NOT use SAE 10W40 oil.
7. CHANGE OIL AS RECOMMENDED: IMPORTANT - change oil after the first two (2) hours of use, then
every 25 hours of use.
8. REPLACETHEBLADEWHEN NEEDED: You can sharpen the blade, but we do not recommend it. Erosion
from hitting foreign objects can damage the blade. Replace blade with one specifically designed
for your mower.
9. ATTHE END OFTHE SEASON, CLEAN YOURMOWER: IMPORTANT- first disconnect the spark plug wire.
If possible, store your mower in a well ventilated area and protected from moisture.
10. FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS IN YOUR OWNERS MANUAL: Read your manual and
keep it in a convenient place for easy reference.
