NOTE: Allow oil to settle down into engine

Maintenance section of this manual.

• Pour oil slowly. Do not over fiU.
• Check oil level before each use. Add oil if
needed. Fill to full line on dipstick.
• To read proper level, tighten engine oil cap
each time.
TO ATrACH
• Reinstall engine oil cap and tighten.
• Change the oil after every 25 hours of
operation or each season. You may need
to change the oil mere often under dusty,
dirty conditions.
GAS
GRASS CATCHER
• Uft the rear door of the lawn mower and
place the grass catcbar frame hooks into the
slots of the rear door.
• The grass cetcher is secured to the lawn
mower housing when the rear door is
lowered onto the grass catcher frame.
• RII fuel tank. Use fresh, dean, regular
unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87
8
octane. (L
of loaded gasoline will
increase carbon and lead oxide deposits
and reduce valve life). Do not mix oil with
gasoline. Purchase fuel in quantities that
can be used within 30 days to as.sum 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 o,fadds 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.
Gasoline
filler cap
TO START
Make the second cut to the desired height.
For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the
width of cut.
Pores in cloth grass catchers can become
tilled with dirt and dust with use and the
catcher will collect loss grass. To prevent
this, regularly hose catcher off with water
and lot dry before use.
MULCHING
NOTE: In cooler weather it may be
necessary to repeat priming steps. In
warmer weather over priming may cause
flooding and engine _'ill not start. If you do
flood engine, wait a few minutes before
attempting to start and do not repeat
priming steps.
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 wi
biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for
the lawn. Always mulch with your highest
engine (blade) speed as this will provide th
best recutting action of the blades.
• Avoid c,,uttingyour lawn when it is wet. Wet
grass tends to form dumps and interferes
with the mulching action. The best time to
mow your lawn is the early aftemoon. At
this time the grass has dried and the newly
cut area will not be exposed to the direct
sun.
ENGINE
• 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.
• 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, release operator
presence control bar.
MOWING
• For best results, adjust the lawn mower
cutting height so that the lawn mower cuts
off only the top one-third of the grass blade
If the lawn is overgrown it will be necessan
to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing
effort and to keep from overloading the
engine and leaving dumps of mulched
grass. For extremely heavy mulching,
reduce your width of cut by overlapping
previouslycutpathandmowslowiy.
• Certain types of grass and grass conditio_
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 pattem from weekto
week. Mow north to south one week then
change to east to west the next week. Th_
will help prevent matting and graining of th
lawn.
MOWING TIPS
• For most cutting conditions and better
bag ngperformance,
theenojno
speed
should be set in the fast pos_an.
• Under certain conditions, such as when
mowing very tall grass, raise the mower
height on the first cut to reduce pushing
effort, to avoid overheating the engine, and
to avoid leaving clumps of grass clippings.

any maintenance.
TIRES
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect
control chemicals which can harm rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp
objects and other hazards that may cause
tire damage.
BLADE CARE
For best results, mower blade must be
kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged
blades.
TO REMOVE BLADE
• Disconnect spark plug wire from spark
plug and place wire w0hereit cannot
come in contact with spark plug.
•Tum lawn mower on its side. Make sure
air filter and carburetor are up.
• Use a wood block between blade and
mower housing to prevent blade from
turning when removing blade bolt.
• Protect your hands with gloves and/or
wrap blade with heavy cloth.
• Remove blade bolt by turning counterclockwise.
• Remove blade and attaching hardware
(bolt, lock washer and hardened
washer).
NOTE: Remove the blade adapter and
check the key inside hub of blade adapter.
The key must be in good condition to work
properly. Replace adapter if damaged.
TO REPLACE BLADE
• Position the blade adapter on the engine
crankshaft. Be sure key in adapter and
crankshaft keyway are aligned.
• Position blade on the blade adapter
aligning the two (2) holes in the blade
with the raised lugs on the adapter.
• Be sure the trailing edge of blade
(opposite sharp edge) is up toward the
engine.
• Install the blade bolt with the lock
washer and hardened washer into blade
adapter and crankshaft.
• Use block of wood between blade and
lawn mower housing and tighten the
blade bolt, turning clockwise.
• The recommended tightening torque is
35-40 ft. Ibs.
IMPORTANT: BLADE BOLT IS GRADE 8
HEAT TREATED.

TO SHARPEN
BLADE
NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening
blade - but if you do, be sure the blade is
balanced.
Care should be taken to keep the blade
balanced. An unbalanced blade will cause
eventual damage to lawn mower or
engine.
• The blade can be sharpened with a file
or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt
to sharpen while on the mower.
• To check blade balance, drive a nail into
a beam or wall. Leave about one inch of
the straight nail exposed. Place center
hole of blade over the head of the nail.
If blade is balanced, it should remain in
a horizontal position. If either end of the
blade moves downward, sharpen the
heavy end until the blade is balanced.

must be installed correctly. If installed
incorrectly, the drive system will not
work.
• There are arrows embossed on both

AIR
FILTER
Your engine will not run properly and may
be damaged by using a dirty air filter.
Replace the air filter every year, more
often if you mow in very dusty, dirty
conditions. Do not wash air filter.
TO CHANGE AiR FILTER
• Loosen cover knob.
• Swing cover down and remove from
hinge.
• Pull paper filter out of air cleaner body.
• Clean air cleaner cover and body.
• Install a new paper filter.
• Reinstall cover to air cleaner body. Be
sure hinge is assembled properly.
• Swing cover up and tighten cover knob.
(Do not overtighten).
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 mowel
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.
