cover items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence.
To receive
full value from the warranty, operator must

LUBRICATION
CHART
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 Adjustments
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 mixture and help
your engine run better 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 "LUBRICATION
CHART').

in Maintenance
section.
IMPORTANT:
Do not oil or grease plastic
wheel
bearings.
Viscous
lubricants
will
attract dust and dirt that will shorten the life of
the self-lubricating
bearings. If you feel they
must be lubricated, use only a dry, powdered
2graphite type lubricant sparingly.
