Engine Maintenance

Use the following maintenance section to keep your
unit in good operating condition. All the maintenance
information for the engine is in the engine manual.
Before you start the engine, read this book.
WARNING: Before you make an inspec-
tion, adjustment (except carburetor), or
repair, stop the engine and disconnect the
wire from the spark plug.

Engine Tipping

When you service the engine, inspect the blade, or
clean the underside of the mower housing; make sure
to always tip the engine with the spark plug up (Figure
15). Transporting or tipping the engine with the spark
plug down will cause:

Lubrication

1. For maximum performance, lubricate the wheels
and all pivot points with engine oil every 25 hours.
2. To lubricate the engine, refer to the engine manual.
NOTE: Do not lubricate the engine stop cable.
Lubricants will damage the cable and prevent the cable
from moving freely. Replace the cable if bent or dam-
aged.

Adjusting the Height of Cut

WARNING: The blade will rotate when the
engine runs. Before you change the height
of cut, stop the engine and disconnect the
wire from the spark plug.
To change the height of cut, move the position of the
adjuster arm at each wheel (A, Figure 16). Make sure
each adjuster arm is in the same position so that the
mower will cut level.
1. Disengage the adjuster arm.
2. Move the adjuster arm to another position.
