GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this lawn mower does not
cover items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence. To receive full
value from the warranty, operator must
maintain mower as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly
maintain your unit.
All adjustments in the Service and Adjust-
mants section of this manual should be
checked at least once each season.
• Once a year, raplace the spark plug, clean
or replace air filter element and check
blade for wear. A new spark plug and
clean/new air filter element assures proper
alr4uel mixture and helps 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.

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 graphite type lubricant
sparingly.
