Use fresh, clean, regular un eaded gasoline with a minimum of 87 octane, Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase rue! in quantities that can be used within 30 days to assure 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 of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuei system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storz age of 30 days or !origen. Drain the fuel tank, start the engine and let it run until fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.

Use a firm push. This step is not usually necessary when starting an engine which has already run for a few minutes. , Push engine speed control lever to high (4) , 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, IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. SEE "CLEANING" IN CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES SECTION OF THIS MANUAL. position. 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, if you do flood engine, wait a few minutes before attempting to start and do not repeat priming steps. , 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 will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed as this witl 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 afternoon. At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area wil! not be exposed to the direct sun. , For best results, adjust the lawn mower cutting height so that the lawn mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass blades (See Fig. 12). If the lawn is overgrown it will 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 by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly. MOWING TIPS Under certain conditions, such as very tail 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 and raise the rear of the lawn mower housing one (t) wheel adjuster setting higher than the front for better discharge of grass. 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. For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions, the engine speed should be set in the fast (@) position. o 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 a second time. • If a trail of grass clippings is left on the right side of a rear discharge lawn mower, mow in a clockwise direction with a small overlap to collect the clippings on the next pass. • Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of grass clippings and chaff. This wilt help engine airflow and extend engine life. MOWING TIPS , 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 catchers off with water and let dry before using. 11 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 matting and graining of the lawn.

FIG. 20 ENGINE REAR DEFLECTOR ENGtNE SPEED The rear deflector, attached between the rear wheels of your lawn mower, is provided to minimize the possibility that objects will be thrown out of the rear of the lawn mower into the operator's mowing position. If the rear deflector becomes damaged, it should be replaced. Your engine speed has been factory set. Do not attempt tO increase engine speed or it may result in personal ihjury. If you believe that your engine is running too fast or too stow, take your lawn mower to an authorized service center for repair and/or adjustment. le STO E Immediately prepare your lawn mower for storage at the end of the season or if the unit will not be used for 30 days or more. ENGINE FUEL SYSTEM iMPORTANT: tT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHfCH 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. LAWN MOWER When lawn mower is to be stored for a period of time, clean it thoroughly, remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store in a clean, dry area. o Clean entire lawn mower (See "CLEANING" in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual). , Lubricate as shown in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual. , Be sure that all nuts, bolts, screws, and pins are securely fastened. Inspect moving parts for damage, breakage and wear. Replace if necessary. • Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces; sand lightly before painting. HANDLE • 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. (See Figs. 21 & 22) 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 I0 minutes after adding stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer. You can fold your lawn mower handle for storage. • Loosen the two (2) handle knobs on sides of the upper handle and allow handle to fold down to the rear. Squeeze the bottom ends of lower handle toward each other until pins in handle clear the brackets and pivot entire handle assembly forward and allow it to rest on mower. • When setting up your handle from the storage position, the lower handle wil! require manually locking into the mowing position. IMPORTANT: WHEN FOLDING THE HANDLE .FOR STORAGE OR TRANSPORTATION, BE SURE TO FOLD THE HANDLE AS SHOWN OR YOU MAY DAMAGE THE CONTROL CABLES. ENGINE O_L Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in the Customer Responsibilities section of this manual). CYLINDER OPERATOR PRESENCE CONTROLBAR o Remove spark plug. o Pour one ounce (29 m!) of oil through spark plug hole into cylinder. Pull starter handle slowly a few times to distribute oil. UPPER HANDLE ,, FOLD FORWARD FOR STORAGE Replace with new spark plug. OTHER Do not store gasoline from one season to another. FOLD BACKWARD Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline wilt cause problems. MOWING POSITION o LOWER HANDLE tf possible, store your unit indoors and cover it to give protection from dust and dirt. o Cover your unit with a suitable protective cover that does not retain moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and will cause your unit to rust. IMPORTANT: NEVER COVER MOWER WHILE ENGINE AND EXHAUST AREAS ARE STILL WARM.
