Note: Either fitting can be used, which ever is more
accessible. Pump grease into the fitting until a small
amount appears at bottom of the spindle housing (under
the deck).

Note: Make sure that the grease groove in each roller
mount aligns with the grease hole in each end of the roller
shaft. To help align the groove and hole, there is also an
alignment mark on 1 end of the roller shaft.
Engine Maintenance
Engine Safety
Shut off the engine before checking the oil or adding oil to
the crankcase.
Servicing the Air Cleaner
Check the whole intake system for leaks, damage, or loose
hose clamps. Do not use a damaged air filter.
Service the air-cleaner filter only when the service indicator
requires it. Changing the air filter before it is necessary only
increases the chance of dirt entering the engine when the
filter is removed.
Important: Make sure that the cover is seated correctly,
seals with the air-cleaner body, and the rubber outlet
valve is in a downward position—between the 5 o'clock
and 7 o'clock positions when viewed from the end.
