MAINTENANCE

GENERAL REC OM MEN DA TIONS

The warranty on this lawn mower does not 

cover items that have been sub ject ed to 

operator abuse or negligence.  To receive 

full value from the warranty, operator must 

maintain unit as in struct ed in this manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made 

periodically to properly maintain your unit.

At least once a season, check to see if 

you should make any of the adjustments 

described in the Service and Ad just ments 

section of this manual.

•  At least once a year, replace the spark 

plug, clean or replace air filter element 

and check blade for wear.  A new spark 

plug and clean/new air filter element 

assure proper air-fuel mix ture and help 

your engine run bet ter and last longer.

•  Follow the maintenance schedule in this 

manual.

BEFORE EACH USE

•  Check engine oil level.

•  Check for loose fasteners.

LUBRICATION

Keep unit well lubricated

(See “LU BRI CA TION CHART”).

LUBRICATION CHART

 Spray lubricant
 See "ENGINE" in Maintenance section.

IMPORTANT:

   Do not oil or grease plastic 

wheel bearings.  Viscous lu bri cants will

attract dust and dirt that will short en the life 

of the self-lu bri cat ing bearings.  If you feel 

they must be lu bri cated, use only a dry, 

pow dered graphite type lubricant spar ingly.
