MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded
muffler as it
could create a fire hazard and/or damage.
SPARK
PLUG
Replace spark plug at the beginning
of
each mowing season or after every 100
hours of operation,
whichever
occurs
first. Spark plug type and gap setting
are shown in the "PRODUCT SPECIFICA-
TIONS" section of this manual.
CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep mower housing free of built-grass
and trash. Clean the underside
of your
mower after each use.
,_CAUTION:
Disconnect
spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with plug.
• Clean the underside
of your lawn
mower by scraping to remove build-up
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.
• With the exception
of the water washout
port (if equipped),
we do not recom-
mend using a garden hose to clean the
outside of your lawn mower unless the
electrical
system, muffler, air filter and
carburetor
are covered to keep water
out. Water in engine can result in short-
ened engine life.
WATER
WASHOUT
FEATURE
Your lawn mower is equipped
with a fitting
that allows quick and easy cleaning
of
the underside
of the housing.
To use this
feature, proceed
as follows:
1. Move lawn mower to an area of cut
grass or another hard surface.
NOTE: Water, grass and other debris will
drain from beneath the mower housing
during the washout
process.
2. Remove grass catcher and discharge
chute assembly from lawn mower.
3. Close mulcher door (if equipped).
4. Connect a garden hose to the fitting
where shown.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure the garden hose is
not routed under the lawn mower housing
or entangled
in the wheels.
5. Turn on water supply and check for
leaks at the fitting.
If no leaks are present, start engine (as
described
in the Operation
section of
this manual) and let engine run until the
underside
of the lawn mower is clean.
WARNING:
Do not engage the drive
system during the washout process.
6. Shut off the engine.
7. Shut off water supply and remove
hose from fitting.
CAUTION:
Do not remove hose from
fitting while engine is running.
Water in
engine can result in shortened
engine life.
8. Start engine (as described
in the Op-
eration section of this manual) and let
engine run for a full minute to remove
excess water from mower.
