MOWER MAINTENANCE
Keeping Engine Clean
Remove all grass and debris from the engine including the
exhaust / exhaust guard, the air ways in the top cowl and the
surrounding deck areas on a daily basis after use. Never spray
the engine with water during cleaning. Water can contaminate
the fuel. Always clean with a brush or compressed air.
(Refer fi g.25)
Grass and debris may clog the engine's air cooling system
especially after prolonged operation while cutting tall, dry grass.
The internal cooling fi ns and surfaces may require cleaning to
prevent overheating and engine damage. We recommended that
this service be carried out by an authorised Briggs and Stratton
dealer.
Grassbag
Remove grass debris from the grassbag immediately after use
and check its condition for signs of damage.
To prevent accidents replace a damaged grassbag
immediately.
(Refer fi g.26)
Deck Housing
Remove grass debris from the top and underside of the deck
housing immediately after use.

Fertilisers and top dressings are particularly corrosive.
Thoroughly clean the mower deck immediately after use on
treated grass and store well away from corrosive materials.
Securing Nuts & Bolts
Regularly check that all securing nuts and bolts are tight. Replace
missing or damaged items immediately.
Clutch Cable Adjustment (619 only)
Check the clutch cable operation after the fi rst hour and then
every 25 operating hours and adjust if necessary. The clutch
cable is adjusted correctly when the drive engages with the
clutch lever positioned 55-70mm from the handlebar.
(Refer fi g.28)
Set the adjuster (1) as necessary.
(Refer fi g.29)
Lubrication
Lubricate the wheels, pivot points and linkages with engine oil
every 25 operating hours.
Apply a good quality medium grease to the inner control cables,

at the point of entry and exit from their outer casting.
Cutterblade Removal
Drain the fuel by running the engine until the fuel tank is empty
and the engine stops.
Remove the spark plug lead and allow the engine to cool. Turn
the mower on to it's right hand side and ensure that the air
cleaner side of the engine is uppermost.
Firmly grip the end of the cutterblade with a gloved hand and
remove the bolt, spring washer and distance piece securing the
cutterblade with a 9/16" A/F spanner.
(Refer fi g.30)
To prevent accidents, never work on the cutterblade unless
the spark plug lead has been removed. The cutterblade
has sharp edges. ALWAYS wear strong gloves to protect
your hands when working on the cutterblade. DO NOT
rotate tools towards the cutting edges to avoid the risk of
injury should the tool slip. ALWAYS use genuine Hayter
replacement parts.
The condition of the cutterblade and its mounting arrangement
should be checked regularly for signs of wear or damage. Ensure
that the cutterblade is not bent or cracked.
