OIL
Your lawn mower is shipped without oil in the
engine.
,, Be sure mower is level and area around oil
fill is dean
o Remove engine oil cap w/dipstick and fill to
the fuji line on the dipstick.
,, Use 20 ozs. of oil. For type and grade of oil
to use. see "ENGINE" in Customer
Responsibilities section of this manual
,, Pouroil slowly. Do not overfill.
* Check oil levelbefore each use. Add oil if
needed. Fillto futl lineon dipstick.
- To read proper level, tighten engine el!cap
eachtime.
,, Reinstall engine oil cap and tighten.
_, Change the oil after every 25 hours of
operation or each season. You may need
tochange the oil more often under dusty,
di_1 conditions.
GAS
,' Fill fuet tank. Use fresh, clean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of87
octane Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used
within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.
WARNING: Experience indicates that
alcohol blended fue!s (called ga_ho! 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 rue! system should be
emptied before storage of 30 days or
longer. Drain the fuel tank, start the engine
and let it run until fuel lines and carburetor
are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.
See Storage Instructions for additiona!
information. Never use engine or carbure-
tor cleaner products in fuel tank or
permanent damage may occur.
TO START ENGINE
• To start a cold engine, push primer five (5)
times before t_ing to start. Use a firm push.
This step is not usually necessary when
starting an engine which has already run for
afew minutes
• Pushengine speed control lever to fast
position
Holdoperator presence centre! bar down to
the handle and pull starter handle quickly.
Do not allow starter rope to snap back.
o 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. Ifyou do flood engine, wait a few
minutes before aHemptingto start and do not
repeat priming steps.
MOWING TIPS
- Under certain conditions, such as very tal!
grass, it may be necessary to raise the
height of cut to reduce pushin9 effort and to
keep from overloading the engine and
leaving clurr_psof grass clippings.
• For extremely heavy culling, reduce the
width of cut and raise the rear of the lawn
mower housing one (!) wheel adjuster
setting higher than the front for better
discharge of grass.
• For betl:ergrass bagging and most cutling
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 asecond
time.
ifa trail of grass clippings is left on the right
side of a rear discharge lawn mower, mew
in a clockwise direction with a small overlap
to collect the clippings on the nex! pass.
,, Keep top ofengine around starter clear and
clean of grass clippings and chaff. This will
help engine air flow andextend engine fife.
o Pores in cloth grass catchers can become
filled with dirt and dust with use and
catchers will collect tess grass. To prevent
this, regularly hose catchers off with water
and let dry before using.
_%_ULCHINGMOWING TIPS
_APORTANT: For best performance, keep
T_ower housing free of buitl-up grass and trash.
Olean UNDERSIDE OF MOWER HOUSING
after each use. See "C)eaning' in CUSTOMER
RESPONSIBILITIES section of this manual.
The special mulching blade willrecur the
grass clippings many times and reduce
them in size so that as they fall onto the
lawn they will disperse into thegrass and
not be noticed. Also; the mulched grass will
biodegrade quickly _oprovide 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 attemoon. At this
time [he grass has dried and the newly cut
area will not be exposed to the direct sun.
For best resuIts, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the lawn mower cuts
off only the top one-third ofthe grass Mades.
Ifthe fawn is overgrown it wil! 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, mow slowly and
raisethe rearof the lawn mower one wheel
adjuster setting higher than the front.
,, 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 perpendicular 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 mailing and graining ofthe
lawn.
