IS YOUR LAWN MOWER READY TO GO?

For your safety, and to maximize the service life of your lawn mower,
it is very important to take a few moments before you operate the lawn
mower to check its condition. Be sure to take care of any problem you
find, or have your servicing dealer correct it, before you operate the
lawn mower.

WARNING
Improperly maintaining this lawn mower, or failing to correct a
problem before operation, could cause a malfunction in which
you could be seriously injured.
Always perform a pre-operation inspection before each
operation, and correct any problem.
Before beginning your pre-operation checks, be sure the lawn mower
is on a level surface.
Check the General Condition of the Lawn Mower
• Look around and underneath the lawn mower for signs of oil or
gasoline leaks.
• Look for signs of damage.
• Check each control for proper operation.
• Check the blades for wear. Replace as necessary (page 9).
• Check that the blade bolts are tight (page 9).
• Check that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.
Check the Engine:
• Check the air cleaner (page 10) and oil level (page 10).
• Check the fuel level (page 12). Starting with a full tank will help to
eliminate or reduce operating interruptions for refueling.
