Before reassembling the blade and the blade adapter

is also recommended. A 4 oz. plastic bottle of light oil
lubricant is avaiiable. Order part number 737-0170.

with the side of the blade marked “Bottom” (or with
part number) facing the ground when the mower is in
the operating position.

FUEL FILTER
Your unit is equipped with a replaceable in-line fuel fil¬
ter. Replace filter whenever contamination or discol¬
oration is noticed. Order replacement filter through
your engine authorized service dealer.
CLEANING ENGINE AND BLADE HOUSING
Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped
off promptly. Grass, leaves, and other dirt must not be
left to accumulate around the cooling fins of the
engine or on any part of the machine.
Clean the underside of the blade housing after each
mowing.
BELTS
Check that belts are free of oil or dirt. Wipe the belts
periodically with a clean rag.
ENGINE
Refer to 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
instructions carefully.
Service air cieaner every 25 hours under normal con¬
ditions. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty
conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding
usually indicates that the air cleaner should be ser¬
viced.
The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset
once a season. Spark plug replacement is recom¬
mended at the start of each mowing season; check
engine manual for correct plug type and gap specifi¬
cation.

A WARNING
A. Battery acid must be handled with great care as
contact with it can burn and blister the skin. It is
also advisable to wear protective clothing (goggles,
rubber gloves and apron) when working with it.*
B. Should battery acid accidentally splatter into the
eyes or onto the face, rinse the affected area
immediately with clean cold water. If there is any
further discomfort, seek prompt medical attention.
C. If acid spills on clothing, first dilute it with clean
water, then neutralize with a solution of ammonia/
water or baking soda/water.
D. Since battery acid is corrosive, do not pour it into
any sink or drain. Before discarding empty elec¬
trolyte containers, rinse them with a neutralizing
solution.
E. NEVER connect or disconnect charger clips to bat¬
tery while charger is turned on as it can cause
sparks.
F. Keep all lighted materials (cigarettes, matches,
lighters) away from the battery as the hydrogen
gas generated during charging can be com¬
bustible.
G. As a further precaution, only charge the battery in
a well-ventilated area.
*Always shield eyes, protect skin and clothing
when working near batteries.
A DANGER
Battery contains sulfuric acid. Refer to previ¬
ous warning. Antidote: EXTERNAL—Flush with
water. INTERNAL—Drink large quantities of water
or milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Seek prompt medical attention.

utes, then seek immediate medical attention.
