SECTION 7: MAINTAINING YOUR LAWNMOWER
WARNING:
Always stop engine and
disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning,
lubricating or doing any kind of service work on
the lawn mower.
NOTE:
When tipping the unit or emptying fuel tank
keep the air cleaner side of engine up. Never tip the
mower more than 90 degrees and do not leave the
mower tipped for any length of time. Off can drain into
the upper part of the engine causing a starting problem.
CleaningMower
Clean the underside of the mower deck after each
use to prevent any build-up of grass clippings. If this
debris is allowed to accumulate, it will result in rust
or corrosion.
NOTE:
We do not recommend
the use of pressure
washers or garden hose to clean your unit. These may
cause
damage
to
electric
components,
spindles,
pulleys, bearing or the engine. The use of water will
result in shortened life and reduced serviceability.
Disconnect spark plug wire.
Drain the gasoline from the lawn mower, or place a
piece of plastic under the gas cap.
Tilt the mower so that the side with the air cleaner is
facing up. Hold the mower firmly.
Scrape and clean the underside of the deck with a
suitable tool. Do not spray with water.
Put the mower back on its wheels. If you had put
plastic under the gas cap, remove it now.
EngineMaintenance
Refer to the separate engine manual for all engine
maintenance instructions.
Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate
engine manual packed with your unit. Read and
follow instruction carefully.
Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal
conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely
dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and
flooding usually indicated the that he air cleaner
should be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer
to the separate engine manual packed with your
unit.
The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap
reset once a season. Spark plug replacement is
recommended at the start of each mowing season;
check engine manual for correct plug type and gap
specifications.
