SPARK
PLUG
Replace
spark plug at the beginning
of
each mowing season
or after every 100
hours of operation,
whichever
occurs
first.
Spark plug type and gap setting
are shown
in the "PRODUCT
SPECIFIC-
ATIONS"
section
of this manual.
CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep mower housing
free of built-grass
and trash.
Clean the underside
of your
mower after each use.
_;kCAUTION:
Disconnect
spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where
it
cannot come in contact with plug.
• Clean the underside
of your lawn
mower by scraping
to remove build-up
of grass and trash.
• Clean engine often to keep trash from
accumulating.
A dogged
engine runs
hotter and shortens
engine life.
• Keep finished
surfaces
and wheels free
of all gasoline,
oil, etc.
• We do not recommend
using a garden
hose to clean lawn mower unless the
electrical
system,
muffler, air filter and
carburetor
are covered
to keep water
out.
Water in engine can result in short-
ened engine life.
