3.2.4.  CHECK MOWER BLADE  
1.  Disconnect spark plug wire and secure end 
away from plug. 
2. Tilt mower up on its rear wheels for access to 
the blade cap screw. See Figure 3.2. 
 

IMPORTANT: DO NOT tip machine with carburetor or 
spark plug down. Oil from crankcase will saturate the air 
filter and cause the engine to be hard to start or not start 
at all. If contamination does occur, the air filter will have to 
be replaced. 

 
3. Check torque of blade retaining cap screw. 
Recommended torque should be 30 to 40 ft. lbs.  
See Figure 3.2. 
4. Check blade for sharpness, wear and damage. 
Refer to Section “BLADE WEAR LIMITS”. 
 
3.2.5.   CHECK ENGINE to TRANSMISSION  
 DRIVE 

1.  Visually check belt for cracking, fraying, severed 
or belt strands exposed. Replace belt before 
operating mower. Refer to Section ”BELT SERVICE” 
for replacement instructions.

Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for directions 
regarding engine storage preparations. Prepare the 
mower for “end of season” storage as follows: 
 

1.  Drain fuel from fuel tank and let engine run until 
all fuel is out of the carburetor. 
2.  Disconnect and remove the spark plug wire 
away from spark plug before any other 
preparations are made! 
3. Tape all openings closed to prevent spraying 
water into exhaust or air intakes during washing. 
4.  Tilt mower up on its rear wheels and thoroughly 
clean the underside of the deck. Do not tilt mower 
with spark plug or carburetor down.  Scrape away 
any accumulation of grass with a putty knife and or 
wire brush. 
5.  Lubricate all exposed metal with a light coating 
of oil to prevent corrosion.  
6.  Loosen handle knobs. Carefully fold the handles 
forward, “flexing” the control cables to prevent 
cable damage. 
7. Store the mower in a shed or other dry area, 
protected from weather.
