Scraping Method
If washing does not remove all debris from under the
mower, tip it and scrape it clean.
1. Pull the wire off of the spark plug (Fig. 15).
2. Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank. Refer to the
Draining Gasoline section, page 11.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Gasoline is extremely flammable, highly
explosive and under certain conditions can
cause personal injury or property damage.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Tipping the mower may cause fuel leakage
from the carburetor or fuel tank.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Avoid fuel spills by running the engine dry or
removing gas with a hand pump; never siphon.
3. Tip the mower on its left side (Fig. 26).
4. Remove dirt and grass clippings with a hardwood
scraper. Avoid burrs and sharp edges.
