USING YOUR ROTARY MOWER
Be sure that the lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage the
lawn mower or the engine.
Such objects could be accidentally thrown by the mower in any direction and cause serious
personal injury to the operator and others.
For best result, do not cut wet grass because it tends to stick to the underside of the mower,
preventing proper discharge of grass clipping and could cause you to slip and fall. New grass,
thick grass or wet grass may require a narrow cut.
For a healthier lawn, never cut o󰀨 more than one-third of the total length of the grass.
Your lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is growth.
This mower is designed to be operated all full throttle to give you the best cut and do the most
e󰀨ective job of mowing or mulching.
WARNING: If you strike a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove wire from the spark plug,
thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage,and repair the damage before restarting and
operating the mower. Extensive vibration of the mower during operation is an indication of damage.
The unit should be promptly inspected and repaired.

or maintenance. Replace worn or damaged parts for safety. NOTE: when tipping the unit, empty
the fuel tank and keep the engine spark plug side up. Never tip the mower more than 90 degrees
and do not leave the mower tipped for any long time. Oil can drain into the upper part of the engine
causing a starting problem.

oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit. Read and follow instructions
carefully.
Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal conditions. Clean every few hours under
extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and ooding usually indicate that the 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 specications.
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling system (blower housing area)
clean to permit proper air circulation which is essential to engine performance and life. Be certain
to remove all grass. Dirt and combustible debris from mu󰀪er area.
■ DECK
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass
clippings. Leaves, dirt of other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and
corrosion.and may prevent proper mulching, discharge or bagging.
The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make
certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).
