SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS

2.  Make sure the blade and all moving parts have 

completely stopped.

3.  Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and 

place where it cannot come in contact with plug.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT:

  FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER 

HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH.  CLEAN 

THE UNDERSIDE OF YOUR MOWER AFTER EACH USE.

CAUTION:  Disconnect spark plug wire 

from spark plug and place wire where it 

cannot come in contact with plug.

•  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/wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc.
•  With the exception of the water washout port (if 

equipped), we do not recommend using a garden 

hose to clean the outside of your lawn mower unless 

the elec tri cal system, muffler, air filter and carburetor 

are covered to keep water out.  Water in engine can 

result in shortened engine life.
