Inspection

How to Check the Muffler

Check the muffler every 50 hours. Make sure the muffler is correctly mounted and is not loose. If the muffler is worn or burnt, replace with a new muffler. A worn muffler is a fire hazard and can also damage the engine.

If you mount a spark arrester to the muffler, also check the spark arrester when you check the muffler. If the spark arrester is worn or damaged, replace it with a new spark arrester. See your nearest authorized service center for a spark arrester.

Inspect Blade

WARNING: Before you inspect or remove the blade, disconnect the wire to the spark plug. If the blade hits an object, stop the engine. Check the unit for damage. The blade has sharp edges. When you hold the blade, use gloves or cloth material to protect your hands.

If you keep the blade sharp and inspect the blade for damage, the blade will cut better and be more safe to operate. Frequently check the blade for excessive wear, cracks, or other damage. Frequently check the nut that holds the blade. Keep the nut tight. If the blade hits an object, stop the engine. Disconnect the wire to the spark plug. See if the blade is bent or damaged. Check the blade adapter for damage. Before you operate the unit, replace damaged parts with original equipment parts. See the authorized service center in your area. Every three years, have an authorized service person inspect the blade or replace the old blade with an original equipment part.

5.Clean the top and bottom of the mower housing. Remove all the grass and debris.

6.Mount the blade and blade adapter on the mandrel (Figure 19).

7.Mount the blade so that the hi-lift edges are up. If the blade is upside down, the blade will not cut correctly and can cause an accident.

8.Fasten the blade with the original washers and nut. Make sure the outside rim of the Belleville washer is against the blade (Figure 20).

WARNING: Always keep the nut tight that holds the blade. A loose nut or blade can cause an accident.

9.Tighten the nut that holds the blade to a torque of 35 foot pounds (47,5 N-m).
