GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty
on this lawn mower does
not cover items that have been subjected
to operator abuse or negligence.
To
receive
full value from the warranty,
operator must maintain
mower as
instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments
will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your
unit.
All adjustments
in the Service and
Adjustments
section of this manual
should
be checked
at least once each
season.
• Once a year,
replace
the spark plug,
clean or replace

A new spark
plug and clean/new
air filter element
assure
proper
air-fuel
mixture
and help
your engine
run better and last longer.
• Follow the maintenance
schedule
in
this manual.

IMPORTANT:
Do not oil or grease
plastic
wheel bearings.
Viscous
lubricants will attract dust and dirt that
will shorten the life of the self-lubricat-
ing bearings.
If you feel they must be
lubricated,
use only a dry, powdered
graphite type lubricant sparingly.
