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 Adjust-
ments section of this manual
should be
checked
at least once each season.
• Once a year, replace
the spark plug,
clean or replace
air filter element
and
check blade for wear.
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.
BEFORE
EACH USE
• Check engine oil level.
• Check for loose fasteners,

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