BEFORESTARTINGENGINE (COt,IT'D) WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blend-

ed fuels (called gasohol or usingethanolor methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage._ Acidic gas can damage thefuel systemof an engine while in storage Toavoid _ngine problems, the ruet systemshouldbe

emptied before storage for 30 clays or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let _trun until the

fuel )ines and carburetor ore empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage instructionsfor additlonal _nformatlon. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products inthe fuel tank or permanent damage may

occur,,

TO STARTENGINE

, To start a cold engine, push primer five (5) times

before trying to start. Use a firm push. This step

isnot usually necessary when starting an engine

which has already run for a few minutes_

* Push engine speed selector lever forward to

"HIGH" position,

handle and pun starter handle quickly° Do not

allow starter rope to snap back_ To "STOP" engine, release operator presence

control bar.

NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary to repeat priming steps. In warmer weather aver prim- _ngmay cause flooding and engine will not start, if

you do flood engine wait a Few minutes before at- tempting to start and DO NOT repeat priming steps.

MOWINGTiPS

Under certain conditions, such as very tal_ grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of

grass clippings,

LOWER WHEELS _"'_ RAISE WHEELS

FOR HIGHCUT FOR LOW CUT

FIG. 8

• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of

cut and raise the roar of the mower housing one

(1) wheel adjustor settinghigher than thefront for

bettor discharge of grass_

• When using a rear bagging mower in moist, heavy grass, dumps of cut grass may not enter

the grass catcher. Reduce ground speed (pushing speed) and/or run the mower over the area a se-

cond time,

• For better grass bagging and mast cutting con., difions, the engine speed should'be set in the

"HIGH" (fast) position,

• If a trail of grass clippings is left on the right side of a rear bagging mower, mow _na dockwlse

direction with a small overlap to collect the cllp-

pings on the next pass°

• For side discharge mowers, cutting in o counter- clockwise direction, starting at the outside of the area to be cut, spreadsgrass clippings more even*

ly and puts less load on the engine To keep clip..

pings off of walkways, flower beds, etc., make

the first cuts in a clockwise dlrecfiom

• Pores in cloth gross catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with useand co,hers will col!.

loci tessgrass. To prevent this, regularly hose cat-

cher off with water and let dry before using,

Page 10

GENERALRECOMMENDATION

Once a year you should replace the spark plug, air filter, and check blade for wear, A new spark

plug and air filter assures proper air-fuel mixture andhelps your engine run better and last longer,

You should check alt fasterners and be sure they are tight°

......... SPARK,PLUG. I

TO REMOVE BLADE:

• Turn mower' on itsside. Make sure air filter and carburetor are upo

', Use block of wood between blade and mower

housing to prevent blade from turning when nut isremoved. Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blade with heavy ctoth_

o Remove nut by turning counter-clockwise, Use a

15/16" box or open-end wrench,

NOTE:Check tab in blade flange after removing. If tab isdamaged, replace it. It mus! be in good con-

dition for the blade to work properly° We recom- mend that a new blade nut be used each time blade

is removed.

TO REPLACE BLADE:

* Put blade flange on engine crankshaft with tab

in slot (See Fig 9),

o Fit blade on crankshaft in the blade flange. Be

surethe word "TOP (stampedon blade) istoward engine,

° Place flat washer, two (2) formed washers and

nut on crankshaft (See Fig, 9).

o Use block of wood to holdblade and tighten nut

clockwise, The recommended torque is 70-75 ft.- lbs. Torque wrenches are avalable at most Sears

stores and through the catalog°

NOTE:We do not recommend sharpening blade, but if you do, be sure the blade is balanced,

TO SHARPEN BLADE: ° The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a

grinding wheel, Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower°

° Care should be taken to keep the blade balanc-

ed_ An unbalanced blade will cause excessive

vibration when running and eventual damage to mower or engine.

" To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam

or wall Leave about one inchof the straight hall exposed° Place center hole of blade aver the head

of the nai!. IFblade isbalanced, it should remain in a horizontal position, Ifeither end of the blade

moves downward, blade is not balanced, Sharpen the heavy end until the Made is

balanced.
