Lubricating the Self-propel
Drive
1. Wipe the grease
fittings on the rear wheel
height adjustment levers
with a clean rag.
2. Install a grease gun onto each fitting in turn and
gently apply 1 or 2 pumps of #2 multi-purpose lithium
grease to each.
Important: Excess grease may damage the seals
and prevent the wheel clutch from properly operating.

Replacing the Blade

Important: You will need a torque wrench to
install the blade properly. If you do not have a
torque wrench or are uncomfortable performing this
procedure, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
Examine the blade whenever you run out of gasoline.
If the blade is damaged or cracked, replace it
immediately. If the blade edge is dull or nicked, have
it sharpened or replace it.
The blade is sharp; contacting the blade can
result in serious personal injury.
Wear cloth or leather gloves when servicing the
blade.

3. Use a block of wood to hold the blade steady.
4. Remove the blade, saving all mounting hardware.
5. Install the new blade and all mounting hardware.

1
point toward the mower.

6. Use a torque wrench to tighten the blade bolt to
82 N⋅m.
Important: A bolt torqued to 82 NVm is very tight.
While holding the blade with a block of wood, put
your weight behind the ratchet or wrench and
tighten the bolt securely. This bolt is very difficult
to overtighten.

Cleaning the Mower

1. With the engine
running on a flat paved
surface, spray a stream
of water in front of the
right rear wheel.
The water will splash into the path of the blade,
cleaning out the clippings.
2. When no more clippings come out, stop the water
and move the mower to a dry area.
3. Run the engine for a few minutes to dry the
housing to prevent it from rusting.
