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 (push-
ing 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-upgrass and
trash. See "Cleaning" in Maintenance section

ofthis manual.

• The special mulching blade will recut the
grass clippingsmany 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 aftemocn. 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
cuttingheightso that the lawn mower cuts

off onlythe top one-thirdofthe grass blades.

Ifthe lawn is overgrown itwill be necessary

to raisethe height ofcut to reduce pushing
effortand to keep from overioadingthe

engine and leaving clumpsof mulched
grass. For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce yourwidth ofcut by overlapping
previouslycutpath and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grassand grass cond_ions
may requirethat an area be mulched a
second time to completely hide the

clippings. When doing a second cut,mow
across or perpendicular to the firstcut path.

• Change your curlingpattern from weak to
weak, Mow northto southone week then

change to east to west the next week. This
will help prevent mattingand grainingofthe

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.

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,

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

• Check engine oil level.

• Check for loose fasteners.

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.

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

ENGINE
FUELSYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important toprevent gum
depositsfrom forming in essential fuel system

parts such as carburetor,f fuel filter, fuel hose
or tank duringstorage. Also, exparience

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.

• Drain the fuel tank.

• 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 usingfuel stabilizer.

16

ENGINEOIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with

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

CYLINDER

• Remove spark plug.

• Pour one ounce (29 ml) of oilthrough spark

plug hole into cylinder.

• Pull starter handle slowly a few times to

distribute oil.

• Replace with new spark plug.
OTHER

• Do not store gasoline from one season to

another.

TROUBLESHOOTINGCHART

CAUSEPROBLEM

• Replace your gasoline can if your can
startsto rust. Rust and/or dirtin your

gasoline will cause problems.

• Ifpossible, store your unitindoors and
cover itto give protectionfrom dust and dirt.

• Cover your unitwith a suitable protective
cover that does not retain moisture. Do

ACAUTION: Never store the lawn
mower with gasoline in the tank inside a

building where fumes may reach an open
flame or spark. Allow the engine to cool
before storing in any enclosure.
