Preparing for Maintenance

1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
(Figure 31) before performing any maintenance
procedure.
Maintenance Procedure
• Change the engine oil.
• Check the engine oil level.
• Ensure that the engine stops within 3 seconds after releasing the blade control bar.
• Clean grass clippings and dirt from under the mower.
• Replace the blade or have it sharpened (more frequently if the edge dulls quickly).
• Change the engine oil.
• Clean the cooling system (refer to your engine owner's manual).
• Replace the spark plug (refer to your engine owner's manual).
• Empty the fuel tank before repairs as directed and before annual storage.
• Replace the air filter (more frequently in dusty operating conditions).
• Check the spark plug (refer to your engine owner's manual).
• Lubricate the rear wheel gears.
• Refer to your Engine Operator's Manual for any additional yearly maintenance
procedures.
• If there are more than 5 inches (13 cm) of leaves
on the lawn, set the front cutting height one or two
notches higher than the rear cutting height.
• Slow down your mowing speed if the mower does
not cut the leaves finely enough.
3. After performing the maintenance procedure(s),
connect the spark plug wire to the spark plug.
Important: Before tipping the mower to change
the oil or replace the blade, allow the fuel tank
to run dry through normal usage. If you must
tip the mower prior to running out of fuel, use a
hand fuel pump to remove the fuel. Always tip
the mower onto its side with the air filter up.
