GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
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. At least once a season, check to see if you should
make any of the adjustments described in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual.

new spark plug and clean/new air filter element assure
proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better
and last longer.
