BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
ADD OIL
Your lawnmower is shipped without oil in

the engine. Engine holds 20 oz. of oil.
For type and grade of oil to use, see
"ENGINE" in Maintenance section of this
manual.

1. Be sure lawnmower is level and area
around oil fill is clean.

2. Remove engine oil cap and fill to the
full line on the dipstick. Pour oil slowly.
Do not over fill.

NOTE: Allow oil to settle down into engine

for accurate dipstick reading. To read

proper level, tighten engine oil cap, then
remove it to read the dipstick.

3. Reinstall engine oil cap and tighten.

• Check oil level before each use. Add
oil if needed. Fill to full line on dipstick.

• Change the oil after every 25 hours of
operation or each season. You may
need to change the oil more often under

dusty, dirty conditions.

Drive

ADD GASOLINE
NOTE: Before filling fuel tank, remove

and discard the debris plug that is inside
the tank.

• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of

87 octane. Do not mix oil with gaso-
line. Purchase fuel in quantities that

can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel freshness.

,_WARNING: Experience indicates that

alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or
using ethanol or methanol) can attract
moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic
gas can damage the fuel system of an

engine while in storage. To avoid engine
problems, the fuel system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. Drain the gas tank, start the
engine and let it run until the fuel lines
and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel

next season. See Storage instructions for

additional information. Never use engine

or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel

tank or permanent damage may occur.
_, CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any
spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or

use gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

NOTE: Due to protective coatings on the

engine, a small amount of smoke may be
present during the initial use of the

product and should be considered
normal.

1. To start a cold engine, push primer
three (3) times before trying to start.

Use a firm push. This step is not
usually necessary when starting an

engine which has already run for a

few minutes.

2. Move throttle control lever to fast

position.

3. Hold operator presence control bar

down to the handle and pull starter
handle quickly. Do not allow starter
rope to snap back.

TO STOP ENGINE

• To stop engine, release operator

presence control bar.
NOTE: In cooler weather it may be
necessary to repeat priming steps. In

warmer weather over priming may cause
flooding and engine will not start. If you
do flood engine, wait a few minutes
before attempting to start and do not

repeat priming steps.
MOWING TIPS

• Under certain conditions, such as very

tall 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. It may also be necessary to
reduce ground speed and/or run the

lawn mower over the area a second
time.

• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the

width of cut by overlapping previously
cut path and mow slowly.

• For better grass bagging and most

cutting conditions, the engine speed
should be set in the fast position.

• When using a rear discharge lawn
mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps of

cut grass may not enter the grass
catcher. Reduce ground speed

(pushing speed) and/or run the lawn
mower over the area a second time.

• If a trail of clippings is left on the right
side of a rear discharge mower, mow in

a clockwise direction with a small
overlap to collect the clippings on the

next pass.

• Pores in cloth grass catchers can
become filled with dirt and dust with

use and catchers will collect less grass.

To prevent this, regularly hose catcher
off with water and let dry before using.

• Keep top of engine around starter clear

and clean of grass clippings and chaff.
This will help engine air flow and

extend engine life.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: For best performance,

keep mower housing free of built-up
grass and trash. See =Cleaning" in

Maintenance section of this manual,

• The special mulching blade will recut
the grass clippings many times and

reduce them in size so that as they fall

onto the lawn they will disperse into the

grass and not be noticed. Also, the
mulched grass will biodegrade quickly

to provide nutrients for the lawn.

Always mulch with your highest engine
(blade) speed as this will provide the
best recutting action of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.

Wet grass tends to form clumps and
interferes with the mulching action.

The best time to mow your lawn is the
early afternoon. At this time the grass

has dried and the newly cut area will
not be exposed to the direct sun.

• For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the lawn mower

cuts off only the top one-third of the
grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown

it will be necessary to raise the height
of cut to reduce pushing effort and to

keep from overloading the engine and
leaving clumps of mulched grass. For

extremely heavy mulching, reduce your
width of cut by overlapping previously
cut path and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grass

conditions may require that an area be
mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings. When doing a

second cut, mow across or perpendicu-
lar to the first cut path.

• Change your cutting pattern from week
to week. Mow north to south one week

then change to east to west the next
week. This will help prevent matting

and graining of the lawn.

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 air filter element and

check blade for wear. A new spark plug
and clean/new air filter element assures

proper air-fuel mixture and helps your
engine run better and last longer.

• Follow the maintenance schedule in
this manual.

BEFORE EACH USE

1. Check engine oil level.

2. Check for loose fasteners.

LUBRICATION

Keep unit well lubricated (See "LUBRICA-
TION CHART").

GRASS CATCHER

• The grass catcher may be hosed with
water, but must be dry when used.

• Check your grass catcher often for
damage or deterioration. Through

normal use it will wear. If catcher needs

replacing, replace only with a manufac-

turer approved replacement catcher.

Give the lawn mower model number

when ordering.

DRIVE WHEELS
Check front drive wheels each time
before you mow to be sure they move
freely.

The wheels not turning freely means

trash, grass cuttings, etc. are in the drive
wheel area and must be cleaned to free

drive wheels.

If necessary to clean the drive wheels,

check both front wheels.

1. Remove hubcaps, hairpin cotters and

washers.

2. Remove wheels from wheel adjusters.

3. Remove any trash or grass cuttings
from inside the dust cover, pinion and/

or drive wheel gear teeth.

4. Put wheels back in place.

NOTE: If after cleaning, the drive wheels
do not turn freely, contact your nearest

authorized service center.

GEAR CASE

• To keep your drive system working

properly, the gear case and area
around the drive should be kept clean

and free of trash build-up. Clean under
the drive cover twice a season.

• The gear case is filled with lubricant to

the proper level at the factory. The only
time the lubricant needs attention is if

service has been performed on the

gear case.

• If lubricant is required, use only Texaco
Starplex Premium 1 Grease, Part No.

2. Carefully remove cartridge.

3. Clean by gently tapping on a flat
surface. If very dirty, replace cartridge.

_CAUTION: Petroleum solvents, such as
kerosene, are not to be used to clean
cartridge. They may cause deterioration of
the cartridge. Do not oil cartridge. Do not

use pressurized air to clean or dry
cartridge.

4. Install cartridge, then replace cover
making sure the tabs are aligned with

the slots in the back plate. Fasten
screw securely. Back

MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it

could create a fire hazard and/or dam-
age.

SPARK PLUG
Change your spark plug each year to

make your engine start easier and run
better. Set spark plug gap at .030 inch,

CLEANING
IMPORTANT; For best performance,

keep mower housing free of built-up

grass and trash. Clean the underside of
your mower after each use.
[I, CAUTION" Disconnect spark plug wire

from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with the spark

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

shortened engine life.

CLEAN UNDER DRIVE COVER

Clean 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.

ENGINE

ENGINE SPEED
Your engine speed has been factory set.

Do not attempt to increase engine speed

or it may result in personal injury. If you
believe that the engine is running too fast
or too slow, take your lawn mower to an

authorized service center for repair and
adjustment.
CARBURETOR

Your carburetor has a non-adjustable

fixed main jet for mixture control. If your

engine does not operate properly due to
suspected carburetor problems, take your

lawn mower to an authorized service

center for repair and/or adjustment.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the
engine governor, which is factory set for
proper engine speed. Overspeeding the

engine above the factory high speed
setting can be dangerous, if you think the

engine-governed high speed needs
adjusting, contact your nearest autho-

rized service center, which has proper
equipment and experience to make any
necessary adjustments.

15

Immediately prepare your lawn mower for
storage at the end of the season or if the

unit will not be used for 30 days or more.

LAWN MOWER
When lawn mower is to be stored for a

period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove
all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a

clean, dry area.

1. Clean entire lawn mower (See
"CLEANING" in the Maintenance

section of this manual).

2. Lubricate as shown in the Mainte-
nance section of this manual.

3. Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws,
and pins are securely fastened.

Inspect moving parts for damage,
breakage and wear. Replace if
necessary.

4. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint
surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

HANDLE
You can fold your lawn mower handle for

storage.

1. Squeeze the bottom ends of the lower
handle toward each other until the

lower handle clears the handle
bracket, then move handle forward.

2. Loosen upper handle mounting bolts
enough to allow upper handle to be

folded back.

IMPORTANT: When folding the handle
for storage or transportation, be sure to

fold the handle as shown or you may

damage the control cables.

• When setting up your handle from the

storage position, the lower handle will
automatically lock into the mowing
position.

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel
filter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.

Also, experience indicates that alcohol
blended fuels (called gasohol or using

ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture
which leads to separation and formation
of acids during storage. Acidic gas can

damage the fuel system of an engine

while in storage.

1, Drain the fuel tank.

2, Start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable
alternative in minimizing the formation of
fuel gum deposits during storage. Add
stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or

storage container. Always follow the mix

ratio found on stabilizer container. Run

engine at least 10 minutes after adding
stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach

the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank
and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace

with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in
the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER

1, Remove spark plug.

2, Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oil through

spark plug hole into cylinder.

3, Pull starter handle slowly a few times

to distribute oil.

4, Replace with new spark plug.

OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one

season to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your
can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in

your gasoline will cause problems.

• If possible, store your unit indoors

and cover it to give protection from
dust and dirt.

• Cover your unit with a suitable
protective cover that does not retain

moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic
cannot breathe which allows conden-

sation to form and will cause your unit

16 to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover mower while
engone and exhaust .areas are still warm.
