GAS: Fill the gas tank with clean, fresh, unleaded gas.

OIL: Check the oil level with the dipstick and add more if necessary (only add oil to the level indicated on the dipstick—do not overfill). Use SAE 30 high detergent oil.

SPARK PLUG: Clean the spark plug and replace if needed.

AIR FILTER: A clean air filter will mean a much easier-starting and better running engine. You should replace the paper air filter after every 25 hours of use, more frequently if you are trimming and mowing in dusty conditions.

ENGINE AIR COOLING SYSTEM: It is very important to keep the engine clean of debris. Remove grass and other built-up materials from the air intake screen before, during and after you mow. Regularly remove debris from the blower housing and cooling fins. A dirty engine retains heat and can cause damage to the internal engine parts.

BELT: Check the belt for wear, proper alignment and tension.

CUTTING CORDS: Replace broken or frayed cords.

MOW-BALLSUPPORT & LINE PLATES: Check the Mow-BallSupport and line plates for wear and replace as needed.
