GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this lawn mower does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence, To receive

full value from the warranty, operator must maintain mower as instructed in this

manual.

Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your unit. All adjustments in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.

Once a year, replace the spark plug, replace air filter element and check blade for wear. A new spark plug and clean/new air filter element assures proper air-fuel mixture and helps your engine run better and last longer.

Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.

BEFORE EACH USE

Check engine oil level.

Check for loose fasteners.
