Troy-Bilt 569 Manuale Utente

We do not recommend 
the use of pressure 
washers or garden 
hose to clean your 
unit. These may cause 
damage to electric 
components, spindles, 
pulleys, bearings, or 
the engine. The use 
of water will result in 
shortened life and 
reduce serviceability.

•  Always observe safety rules when performing  

any type of maintenance.

•  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.

•  Lubricate pivot points on the blade control handle at 

least once a season with light oil. The blade control 

must operate freely in both directions. See Figure 3.

•  Lubricate the wheels at least once a season with 

light oil (or motor oil). If  wheels are removed for any 

reason, lubricate surface of the pivot arm and inner 

surface of the wheel with light oil. See Figure 3.

•  Lubricate the torsion spring and pivot point on the rear 

discharge door periodically with light oil to prevent 
rust. See Figure 3. 

•  The transmission is pre-lubricated and sealed at the 

factory and does not require lubrication.

•  Follow the accompanying engine manual for engine 

lubrication instructions.

 

The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned 

after each use to prevent any build-up of grass clippings, 

leaves, dirt, or other debris. If this debris is allowed to 

accumulate, it will result in rust and corrosion.

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.

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. Do not spray with water. 

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 maintenance jobs required for good 

performance by the mower is given below. Follow the 

accompanying engine manual for 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. Refer to engine manual.

•  Clean spark plug and reset the gap once a season. 

Check engine manual for correct plug type and gap 
specifications.

•  Clean engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the 

cooling system (blower housing area) clean to permit 

proper air circulation. Remove all grass, dirt and 
combustible debris from muffler area.

1.  To remove rear flap, cut off the flat end of the wire rod 

which secures it to the deck. See Figure 4.
