CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep mower housing free of built-grass
and trash. Clean the underside of your
mower after each use.
&CAUTION"
Disconnect
spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with plug.
o Clean the underside of your lawn
mower by scraping to remove build-up
of grass and trash.
o Clean engine often to keep trash from
accumulating.
A clogged engine runs
hotter and shortens engine life.
o Keep finished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
o 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.
