GENERALRECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this lawn mower does not
cover items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence.
To receive
full value from the warranty, operator must
maintain mower as instructed in this
manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your unit.
All adjustments
in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual should
be checked at least once each season.
• Once a year, replace the spark plug,
clean or replace air filter element and
check blade for wear.
A new spark plug
and clean/new
air filter element assures
proper air-fuel mixture and helps your
engine run better and last longer.
• Follow the maintenance
schedule in this
manual.
BEFORE
EACH
USE
• Check engine oil level.
• Check for loose fasteners.
LUBRICATION
Keep unit well lubricated (See "LUBRICA-
TION CHART").

section.
IMPORTANT:
Do not oil or grease plastic
wheel bearings. Viscous lubricants will
attract dust and dirt that will shorten the life
of the self-lubricating bearings. If you feel
they must be lubricated, use only a dry,
powered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
