MAINTENANCE
Proper routine maintenance of this mower will help prolong the life of the machine.
Always observe safety rules when performing any maintenance.
The warranty on this lawn mower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or
negligence. To receive full valve from warranty, operator must maintain the lawn mower as instructed
here.
Changing of engine-governed speed will void engine warranty.
All adjustments should be checked at least once each season.
Periodically check all fasteners and make sure these are tight.
Warning: Always stop engine, allow engine to cool, disconnect spark plug wire before
performing any type of maintenance on your machine.
DECK CARE
It is important to clean underside of the mower deck after use to prevent the build-up of grass clippings or
other debris. Follow steps below for proper cleaning.
1. Allow the engine to run until it is out of fuel. Do not attempt to pour fuel from the engine.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire. Refer to engine operator’s manual.
3. Slowly tip mower so that it rests on the housing.
4. To prevent oil spills, always tip the mower so that the Air Filter is facing up.
5. Hold mower firmly and scrape and clean the underside of the deck with a suitable tool.
6. Gently lower the mower back on its wheels on the ground.
Warning: Never tip the mower more than 90° in any direction and do not leave the mower tipped for any
length of time. Oil can drain into the upper part of the engine causing a starting problem.
MOWER BLADE
To ensure safe operation, have all blade sharpening, balancing and mounting work carried out by an
authorized service center. To achieve optimal results, we recommend having the blade checked once a
year.
If, in spite of all caution, the blade comes into contact with an obstacle, switch off the engine immediately
and pull off the spark plug connector. Tilt the lawn mower to the rear and check the blade for damage.
Always keep the side with the air cleaner facing up. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced. Never
straighten a bent blade. Never work with bent or heavily worn blades as this will result in vibrations,
causing further damage to the mower.
Warning: Risk of injury when working with a damaged blade.
