Cleaning

The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned

after each use to prevent any buildup of grass clippings, leaves, dirt, or other debris. If this debris is allowed to

accumulate, itwill result in rust and corrosion. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground to post on engine.

Drain the gasoline from the lawn mower, or place a piece of plastic under the gas cap. Tip the mower so that it rests on the housing. Keep the side with the air cleaner facing up. Hold it firmly.

Scrape clean the underside of the deck with a suitable tool.

Put the mower back on its wheels on the ground. If you had put plastic under the gas cap, make sure to remove it now.

,a,WARNING: Never tip the mower more than 90 degrees and do not leave the mower tipped for any length of time. Oil can drain into the upper part of the engine causing a starting problem.
