BEFORE MOWING
The following items should be
checked
with the rear cover
removed.
ENGINE OIL CAP
COOLING AIR
INTAKE SCREEN
MUFFLER
AIR CLEANER
Engine Oil
Oil is essential to engine operation and long life. Always
check the oil level before mowing (see page 59.)
Air Intake, Cleaner and Filters
Clogged air intake areas and dirty air filters make it difficult
for an engine to breathe. The cooling air for the engine is
drawn in from behind the seat. Make sure the cooling air
path is not obstructed with grass or covered in any way.
Remove the rear cover (see page 54) and make sure the
cooling air intake screen is free of grass or any other
objects.
Follow the steps on page 54 to check the condition of the air
cleaner and air filter elements.
Muffler and Exhaust Area
When the engine is cool, examine the area around the
muffler and exhaust area. Be sure it's clear of any grass
clippings or other foreign objects.
