• Engine holds 20 ozs. of oil. For type and.grade of oil to use, see "ENGINE" inMaintenance section of this manual.

• Pour oilslowly. Do not overfill.• Check oil level before each use. Add oil if

needed, Fillto full line on dipstick.• To read proper level, tighten engine oil cap

each time.• Reinstall engine oil cap and tighten.• Change the oil after every 25 hours of

operation or each season. You may needto change the oil more often under dusty,dirty conditions.

ADD GASOUNE

• Fill fuel tank. Use fresh, dean, regularunleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.Purchase fuel in quantities that can beused within 30 days to assure fuelfreshness.

_WARNING: .E._.rience indicates thatalcohol blended fuels (called gasohol orusing ethanol or methanol) can attractmoisture which leads to separation andformation of acids during storage. Acidicgascan damage the fuel system of an enginewhile in storage. To avoid engine problems,the fuel system should be emptied beforestorage of 30 days or longer. Drain the gastank, start the engine and let it run untilthefuel lines and carburetor are empty, Usefresh fuel next season. See StorageInstructionsfor additional information. Never

use engine or carburetor cleaner products inthe fuel tank or permanent damage mayOccur.

MOWING TIPS

• Under certain conditions, such as verytall grass, it may be necessary to raisethe height of cut to reduce pushing effortand to keep from overloading the engineand leaving clumps of grass clippings. Itmay also be necessary to reduceground speed and/or run the lawnmower over the area a second time.

• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce thewidth of cut by overlapping previouslycut path and mow slowly.

• For better grass bagging and mostcutting conditions, the engine speedshould be set in the fast position.

• When using a rear discharge lawnmower in moist, heavy grass, clumps ofcut grass may not enter the grasscatcher. Reduce ground speed (push-ing speed) and/or run the lawn mowerover the area a second time.

• If a trail of clippings is left on the rightside of a rear discharge mower, mow ina clockwise direction with a small

overlap to collect the clippings on thenext pass.

• Pores in cloth grass catchers canbecome filled with dirt and dust with use

and catchers will collect less grass. Toprevent this, regularly hose catcher offwith water and let dry before using.

• Keep top of engine around starter clearand clean of grass clippings and chaff.This will help engine air flow and extendengine life.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keepmower housing free of built-upgrass andtrash. See "Cleaning" in Maintenance sectionof this manual.

• The special mulching blade will recut thegrass clippingsmany times and reducethem in size so that as they fall onto thelawn they will disperse into the grass andnot be noticed. Also, the mulched grass willbiodegrade quickly to provide nutrients forthe lawn. Always mulch with your highestengine (blade) speed as this will provide thebest recutting action of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wetgrass tends to form clumps and interfereswith the mulching action. The best time tomow your lawn is the early aftemocn. Atthis time the grass has dried and the newlycut area will not be exposed to the directSUn.

• For best results, adjust the lawn mowercutting heightso that the lawn mower cutsoff only the top one-third of the grass blades.If the lawn is overgrown itwill be necessaryto raise the height of cut to reduce pushingeffort and to keep from overioadingtheengine and leaving clumps of mulchedgrass. For extremely heavy mulching,reduce yourwidth of cut by overlappingpreviouslycut path and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grass cond_ionsmay require that an area be mulched asecond time to completely hide theclippings. When doing a second cut, mowacross or perpendicular to the firstcut path.

• Change your curlingpattern from weak toweak, Mow north to south one week then

change to east to west the next week. Thiswill help prevent matting and graining of thelawn.

ENGINEFUELSYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent gumdeposits from forming in essential fuel systemparts such as carburetor, f fuel filter, fuel hoseor tank during storage. Also, exparienceindicates that alcohol blended fuels ( calledgasohol or using ethanol or methanol) canattract moisture which leads to separation andformation of acids during storage. Acidic gascan damage the fuel system of an enginewhile 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 permanentdamage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptablealternative in minimizing the formation of fuelgum deposits during storage. Add stabilizerto gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizercontainer. Run engine at least 10 minutesafter adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer toreach the carburetor. Do not drain the gastank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
