WARNING {

if near an open fire.
2. Drain all the oil from the crankcase (this
should be done after the engine has been
operated and is still warm) and refill the
crankcase with clean new oil.
3. Disconnect the spark plug wire and remove
the spark plug from the cylinder. Pour about
six drops of engine oil into the cylinder, and
then pull the recoil starter several times to
spread the oil on the cylinder wall. Replace
the spark plug, but DO NOT connect the wire.
4. Clean the engine and the entire mower
thoroughly.
5. Lubricate all lubrication points indicated in
figures 25, 26 and 27. Then wipe the entire
machine with an oiled rag in order to protect
