Removal and Installation

1. Park the mower safely. (See "Park Mower Safely" on
page 1-5.)
Gen-Set Models: Before tipping mower back for
service, the fuel lever must be moved to the OFF
position to prevent fuel from leaking into the
crankcase. Do not leave the mower tipped back
for an extended length of time or oil may migrate
into the combustion chamber.
2. Retract the kickstand and allow the mower to rest on
the traction roller or transport wheels. Support the
mower to prevent it from tipping.
