PRE-START CHECKS

• CHECK guards, BAG (3), BAG ADAPTOR (4), DECK
COVER (21) or side discharge chute for proper posi¬
tion and tightness.
•NOTE: The "tab" on the inside rear edge of the

in toward the center of the mower. If the tab is im¬
properly installed, the engine CAN NOT be started.
•CLEAN surfaces to remove dust, dirt, and clippings
- particularly from the cooling air intake screen on

•CHECK oil level in 4-cycle engines and add oil as
needed to bring the level up to but not over the
dipstick (15) "FULL" mark. Refer to FIG. 2.
•CHECK cutting height and adjust as needed, to suit
the prevailing grass conditions. Refer to FIG. 5.
