Maintenance
Checking the Tire Pressure
Service Interval: Every 50 hours/Monthly (whichever
comes first)
Maintain the air pressure in the rear tires at 83-97 kPa (12-14
psi). Uneven tire pressure can cause an uneven cut.
Note: The front tires are semi-pneumatic tires and do not
require air pressure maintenance.

Cleaning the Air Intake Screen
Before each use remove any build-up of grass, dirt or other
debris from the cylinder and cylinder head cooling fins, air
intake screen on flywheel end, and carburetor-governor
levers and linkage. This will help insure adequate cooling
and correct engine speed and will reduce the possibility of
overheating and mechanical damage to the engine.

Service Interval: Every 100 hours/Yearly (whichever comes
first)
