• 

The warranty on this lawn mower does not cover items that 

have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To 

receive full value from warranty, operator must maintain 

the lawn mower as instructed here.

• 

Changing of engine-governed speed will void engine 

warranty.

• 

All adjustments should be checked at least once each 

season.

• 

Periodically check all fasteners and make sure these are 

tight.

Always stop engine, disconnect spark 

plug, and ground against engine before performing 

any type of maintenance on your machine.

1. 

Lubricate pivot points on the blade control at least once a 

season with light oil. The blade control must operate freely 

in both directions. See Figure 6-1.

2. 

Follow the accompanying engine manual for lubrication 

schedule and instruction for engine lubrication.

Clean underside of the mower deck after each use to prevent 

build-up of grass clippings or other debris. Follow steps below 

for this job.
1. 

Disconnect spark plug wire. Drain gasoline from lawn 

mower or place a piece of plastic under the gas cap.

2. 

Tip mower so that it rests on the housing. Keep the side 

with the air cleaner facing up. Hold mower firmly.

Never tip the mower more than 90º in 

any direction and do not leave the mower tipped for 

any length of time. Oil can drain into the upper part 

of the engine causing a starting problem.

3. 

Scrape and clean the underside of the deck with a suitable 

tool. 

4. 

Put the mower back on its wheels on the ground. If you had 

put plastic under the gas cap earlier, make sure to remove it 

now.

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.

• 

Engines stored between 30 and 90 days need to be treated 

with a gasoline stabilizer such as STA-BIL® to prevent 

deterioration and gum from forming in fuel system or on 

essential carburetor parts.
