Service Interval: Before each use or daily
The mower may dislodge material from under
the mower housing.
• Wear eye protection.

1. With the engine running on a flat paved surface,
spray a stream of water in front of the right rear
wheel (Figure 47).
The water will splash into the path of the blade,
cleaning out the clippings.
2. When no more clippings come out, stop the water
and move the mower to a dry area.
3. Run the engine for a few minutes to dry the housing
to prevent it from rusting.
