A list of key engine maintenance jobs required for good 
performance by the mower is given below. Follow the 
accompanying engine manual for a detailed list and instructions.

Maintain oil level as instructed in engine manual.
Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal conditions. 
Clean every few hours under extremely dusty conditions. 
Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicates 
that the air cleaner should be serviced. To service the air 
cleaner, refer to the engine manual.
Clean spark plug and reset the gap once a season. Spark 
plug replacement is recommended at the start of each 
mowing season. Check engine manual for correct plug 
type and gap specifications.
Clean engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the 
top of the engine clean to permit proper air circulation. 
Remove all grass, dirt, and combustible debris from muffler 
area.

Periodic adjustment of the variable speed cable may be 
necessary due to normal wear on the drive system. Adjustment is 
needed if unit begins to run too slow or too fast.

Start engine and place shift lever in the third speed 
position.
Stop engine, remove ignition key, and disconnect spark 
plug wire and ground it against engine.
With engine off, shift back to first speed. This will provide 
slack in the cable.
Carefully remove the harness assembly from the speed 
control housing by removing the three screws securing it 
to the housing. See Fig. 6-3.
