For rough or uneven lawns, move the height
adjustment lever to a higher position. This will help
stop scalping of the grass.
An adjusting plate and thumb lever at each wheel
position provides cutting height adjustment. Each
adjusting plate has nine height positions. Height of cut
will change when you move the thumb lever from one
position to another.

SECTION 9: OFF-SEASON STORAGE
Prepare your lawn mower for storage at the end of the
season or if it will not be used for 30 days or more.
Mower
•
Clean underside of the mower following
instructions on page 12.
NOTE: We do not recommend the use of pressure
washers or garden hose to clean your unit. They may
cause damage to electric components, spindles,
pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will
result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.
•
Lubricate the mower as instructed on page 12.
•
You can fold your mower's handle for convenience
of storage:
Remove the starter rope from the rope
guide; loosen the two hand knobs on
the sides of the handle, and let the
upper handle fold down to the rear.
Move the hairpin clips to the outer hole
in the weld pins on the handle mount-
ing brackets. Spread sides of the lower
handle, and push it forward and down.
•
Inspect and replace/sharpen blade, if required.
Refer to page 13.
Notch
Carburetor
NOTE: A dirty air cleaner may cause an engine to run
rough too. Make sure that the air cleaner is clean and
attached to the carburetor before deciding to adjust the
carburetor.

Gasoline
•
Do not store gasoline from one season to another.
NOTE: Gasoline, stored for more than one month, may
affect engine performance. So use fresh gasoline.
•
Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust
and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause problems.
Engine
•
Clean engine and remove any grass clippings, dirt,
and debris from the cooling fins, air intake screen,
levers, linkage and the exterior of the engine.
•
Follow recommendations in engine manual for off-
season storage of the engine.

Change oil as stated in the engine manual.
Storage
•
Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to
corrosive materials, such as fertilizer or rocksalt.
