IMPORTANT INFORMATION Experience
indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called
gasohol, ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and
formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas
can damage the fuel system of an engine while
in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel
system should be emptied before storage of
30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it operate until the fuel lines and
carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel the next
season. See Storage for additional information.
Do not use engine or carburetor cleaners in the
fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.
Tracking
If the mower is not tracking straight, check the
air pressure in both rear tires. Recommended air
pressure for the rear tires is 15 psi (1 bar).
1. Tracking adjustments are made using the
tracking bolts. The tracking bolts limit the
motion control levers when in the full-forward
position.
2. For preliminary tracking adjustment, move
unit to an open, unobstructed area such as an
empty parking lot or open field.
3. Using a 1/2" wrench, back the tracking bolts
out until flush with nut.
4. Test operate unit by driving it at full throttle
and the full forward position on both motion
control levers. Gradually turn in the tracking
bolt on the right hand side until the unit
noticeably starts drifting right.
5. Drive forward at full throttle with both motion
control levers in the full forward position.
Gradually turn in the left tracking bolt until unit
