Spark Plug - Craftsman 917.387101 Operator's Manual

SPARK PLUG
Replace spark plugs at the beginning of
each mowing season or after every 100
hours of operation, whichever occurs first.
Set spark plug gap according to engine
manual specifications.
CLEANING
IMPORTANT: For best performance,
keep mower housing free of grass build-up
and trash. Clean the underside of your
mower after each use.
• Clean the underside of your lawn mower
by scraping to remove buildup of grass
and trash.
• Clean engine often to keep trash from
accumulating. A clogged engine runs
hotter and shortens engine life.
• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
We do not recommend using a garden
hose to clean your lawn mower unless the
electrical system, muffler, air filter, and
carburetor are covered to keep water out.
Water in engine can shorten engine life.
GRASS CATCHER (IF SO EQUIPPED)
Grass catcher may be hosed with water
but must be dry when used.
_CAUTION: Under normal usage, the
catcher material is subject to deterioration
and wear and should therefore be
checked to ensure compliance with
original manufacturer specifications.
ACAUTION: Before performing any service or adjustments:
• Release operator presence control bar.
• Make sure the blade and all moving pads have completely stopped.
• Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place where it cannot come in
contact with plug.
