BEFORE STARTING ENGINEADD OIL

Your lawnmower is shipped without oil inthe engine. Engine holds 20 oz. of oil.For type and grade of oil to use, see"ENGINE" in Maintenance section of thismanual.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 enginefor accurate reading. To road proper level,tighten engine oil cap, then remove it toread 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 mayneed to change the oil more often underdusty, dirty conditions.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank Use fresh, clean, regularunleaded gasoline with a minimum of87 octane Do not mix oil with gasolinePurchase fuel in quantities that can beused within 30 days to assure fuetfreshne_

_WARNING: Experience indicates thatalcohol blended fuels (called gasohol orusing ethanol or methanol) can attractmoisture which leads to separation andformation of acids during storage. Acidicgas can damage the fuel system of anengine while in storage. To avoid engineproblems, the fuel system should beemptied before storage of 30 days orlonger. Drain the gas tank, start theengine and let it run until the fuel linesand carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuelnext season, See Storage Instructions foradditional information. Never use engineor carburetor cleaner products in the fueltank or permanent damage may occur.

CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tankfiller neck. Do not overfill. Wipe eft anyspilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill oruse gasoline near an open flame.Engineoil cap Gasolinefillercap

TO START ENGINE

NOTE: Due to protective coatings on theengine, a small amount of smoke may bepresent during the initial use of theproduct and should be considerednormal.1. To start a cold engine, push primer

three (3) times before trying to start.Use a firm push. This step is notusually necessary when starting anengine which has already run for afew minutes.

2. Hold operator presence control bardown to the handle and pull starterhandle quickly. Do not allow starterrope to snap back.

TO STOP ENGINE

• To stop engine, release operatorpresence control bar.

NOTE: In cooler weather it may benecessary to repeat priming steps. Inwarmer weather over priming may causeflooding and engine will not start. If youdo flood engine, wait a few minutesbefore attempting to start and do notrepeat priming steps.

MOWING TIPS

• Under certain conditions, such as verytall grass, it may be necessary to raisethe height of cut to reduce pushingeffort and to keep from overloading theengine and leaving clumps of grassclippings. _t may also be necessary toreduce ground speed and/or run thelawn mower ever the area a secondtime.

• 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(pushing speed) and/or run the lawnmower over 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 smalloverlap to collect the clippings on thenext pass.

• Pores in cloth grass catchers canbecome filled with dirt and dust with useand 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 andextend engine life.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keepmower housing free of built-up grass andtrash. See "Cleaning" in Maintenancesection of this manual.• The special mulching blade will recut

the grass clippings many times andreduce them in size so that as they fallonto the lawn they will disperse into thegrass and not be noticed. Also, themulched grass will biodegrade quicklyto provide nutrients for the lawn.Always mulch with your highest engine(blade) speed as this will provide thebest recutting action of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet.Wet grass tends to form clumps andinterferes with the mulching action. Thebest time to mow your lawn is the earlyafternoon. At this time the grass hasdried and the newly cut area will not beexposed to the direct sun.

• For best results, adjust the lawn mowercutting height so that the lawn mowercuts off only the top one-third of thegrass blades. If the lawn is overgrown itwill be necessary to raise the height ofcut to reduce pushing effort and to keepfrom overloading the engine andleaving clumps of mulched grass. Forextremely heavy mulching, reduce yourwidth of cut by overlapping previouslycut path and mow slowly.

• Certain types of grass and grassconditions may require that an area bemulched a second time to completelyhide the clippings. When doing asecond cut, mow across or perpendicu-lar to the first cut path.

• Change your cutting pattern from weekto week. Mow north to south one weekthen change to east to west the nextweek. This will help prevent mattingand graining of the lawn.

• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharpobjects and other hazards that maycause tire damage.

BLADE CARE

For best results, mower blade must bekept sharp. Replace bent or damagedblades.

TO REMOVE BLADE

1. Disconnect spark plug wire from sparkplug and place wire where it cannotcome in contact with spark plug.

2. Turn lawn mower on its side. Makesure air filter and carburetor are up.

3. Use a wood block between blade andmower housing to prevent blade fromturning when removing blade bolt.

NOTE: Protect your hands with glovesand/or wrap blade with heavy cloth.4. Remove blade bolt by turning counter-

clockwise.5. Remove blade and attaching hard-

ware (bolt, lock washer and hardenedwasher).

NOTE: Remove the blade adapter andcheck the key inside hub of bladeadapter. The key must be in good condi-tion to work properly. Replace adapter ifdamaged.

TO REPLACE BLADE

1. Position the blade adapter on theengine crankshaft. Be sure key inadapter and crankshaft keyway arealigned.

2. Position blade on the blade adapteraligning the two (2) holes in the bladewith the raised lugs on the adapter.

3. Be sure the trailing edge of blade(opposite sharp edge) is up towardthe engine.

4. Install the blade bolt with the lockwasher and hardened washer intoblade adapter and crankshaft.

5. Use block of wood between blade andlawn mower housing and tighten theblade bolt, turning clockwise.

• The recommended tightening torque is35-40 ft. Ibs.

IMPORTANT: Blade bolt is grade 8 heattreated.TO SHARPEN BLADENOTE: We do not recommend sharpen-ing blade - but if you do, be sure theblade is balanced.Care should be taken to keep the bladebalanced. An unbalanced blade wiltcause eventual damage to lawn moweror engine.• The blade can be sharpened with a file

or on a grinding wheel. Do not attemptto sharpen while on the mower.

11

• To check blade balance,drive a nailintoa beam orwall. Leave about oneinchof the straightnail exposed.Placecenterhole of bladeover the head ofthe nail. If blade is balanced, it shouldremainin a horizontalposition.If eitherend of the blade moves downward,sharpenthe heavy end until the bladeis balanced.

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to preventgum deposits from forming in essentialfuel system parts such as carburetor, fuelfilter, fuel hose, or tank during storage.Also, experience indicates that alcoholblended fuels (called gasohol or usingethanol or methanol) can attract moisturewhich leads to separation and formationof acids during storage.

fuel lines and carburetor are empty.• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanentdamage may occur.

Addstabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank orstorage container. Always follow the mixratio found on stabilizer container. Runengine at least 10 minutes after addingstabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reachthe carburetor. Do not drain the gas tankand carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.ENGINEOIL
