Important: Before tipping the machine to change
the oil or replace the blade, allow the fuel tank to
run dry through normal usage. If you must tip
the machine prior to running out of fuel, use a
hand fuel pump to remove the fuel. Always tip the
machine onto its side, with the dipstick down.
Maintenance Procedure
• Change the engine oil.
• Check the engine-oil level.
• Ensure that the engine stops within 3 seconds after releasing the blade-control bar.
• Clean grass clippings and dirt from under the machine.
• Empty the fuel tank before repairs as directed and before annual storage.
• Change the engine oil.
• Replace the blade or have it sharpened (more frequently if the edge dulls quickly).
• Clean the air cooling system; clean it more frequently in dusty operating conditions.
Refer to your engine operator's manual.
• Refer to your engine operator's manual for any additional yearly maintenance
procedures.
