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. 

3.2.3.  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. Do not tilt mower with spark 
plug or carburetor down. See Figure 3.4. 
3. Check torque of blade retaining cap screw. 
Recommended torque should be 40 ft. lbs.        See 
Figure 3.4. 
4. Check blade for sharpness, wear and damage. 
Refer to Section “Blade Wear Limits”. 
 
3.2.4.  CHECK ENGINE DRIVE BELT  
1.  Visually check engine drive belt for cracking, 
fraying, severed or belt strands exposed. If worn or 
damaged, replace belt before operating mower. 
 
3.2.5. CHECK TRANSMISSION POLY-V BELT

3.4 STORAGE 

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.  On self-propelled models disconnect transfer 
rod clip and remove ground speed control rod 
before folding handles. 
7.  Loosen handle knobs. Carefully fold the handles 
forward, “flexing” the control cables to prevent 
cable damage. 
8. Store the mower in a shed or other dry area, 
protected from weather.
