SPARK
PLUG

100
hours of operation,

CLEANING
IMPORTANT:
For best performance,
keep
mower housing
free of built-grass
and
trash. Clean
the underside
of your mower
after each use.
Ill, CAUTION:
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 clogged
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.
CLEAN
UNDER
DRIVE
COVER

under drive cover at least twice a
season.
Scrape
underside
of cover with
putty knife or similar
tool to remove
any
build-up
of trash or grass on underside
of
drive cover.

injury,
before
performing
any service
and
adjustments:
1.

bar and stop engine.

into the operator
mowing
position.
If the
deflector
becomes
damaged,
it should
be
replaced.
