CARBURETOR
Your carburetor is not adjustable.
If your
engine does not operate properly due to
suspected carburetor
problems, take your
lawn mower to a Sears or other qualified
service center for repair and/or adjust-
ment.
IMPORTANT:
Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed.
Overspeeding
the
engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous.
If you think the
engine-governed
high speed needs
adjusting, contact a Sears or other
qualified service center, which has proper
equipment
and experience
to make any
necessary
adjustments.
Immediately
prepare your lawn mower for
storage at the end of the season or if the
unit will not be used for 30 days or more.
LAWN MOWER
When lawn mower is to be stored for a
period of time, clean it thoroughly,
remove
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a
clean, dry area.
1. Clean entire lawn mower (See
=CLEANING"
in the Maintenance
section of this manual).
2. Lubricate as shown in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual.
3. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws,
and pins are securely fastened.
Inspect moving parts for damage,
breakage
and wear. Replace
if
necessary.
4. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint
surfaces; sand lightly before painting.
HANDLE
You can fold your lawn mower handle for
storage.
1. Squeeze
the bottom ends of the lower
handle toward each other until the
lower handle clears the handle
bracket, then move handle forward.
2.
Loosen upper handle mounting bolts
enough to allow upper handle to be
folded back.
IMPORTANT:
When folding the handle
for storage or transportation,
be sure to
fold the handle as shown or you may
damage
the control cables.
• When setting up your handle from the
storage position, the lower handle will
automatically
lock into the mowing
position.

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
It is important to prevent
gum deposits from forming in essential
fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.
Also, alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol or using ethanol or methanol)
can attract moisture which leads to
separation
and formation of acids during
storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel
system of an engine while in storage.
1. Drain the fuel tank.
2.
Start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty.
