Front Wheel Adjustment

The front wheel cutting height is determined by placing the axle rod in one of the six height adjustment positions in each caster assembly on the front wheels.

To adjust, remove the wing nut from the axle bolt. See Figure 13B.

Slide the axle bolt and spring washer from the assembly and select a cutting height.

With the spring washer on the axle bolt, reinsert the axle bolt in the square hole desired, through the wheel assembly. See Figure 13B.

Secure with wing nut previously removed.

SECTION 11: OFF-SEASON STORAGE

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. Store the mower in a clean, dry area.

Mower

Clean underside of the mower following instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual.

Inspect and replace/sharpen blade, if required. Refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for blade care instructions.

Lubricate mower following the lubrication chart in Figure 10 of this manual.

You can fold your mower’s handle for convenient storage as shown in Figure 14.

a.Remove the starter rope from the rope guide.

b.Loosen the two hand knobs on the sides of the handle, and let the upper handle fold down to the rear.

FIGURE 14

NOTE: When folding the handle for storage or transportation, be careful not to bend or kink the cable.

Engine

Follow recommendations in the accompanying engine manual for off-season storage of the engine.

Change oil if it has not been changed in the last three months. For instructions on how to change oil, refer to the engine manual.

Clean engine and remove any grass clippings, dirt, or chaff from the exterior of the engine.

Remove any dirt or debris from cooling fins, air intake screen, levers, and linkage.

IMPORTANT: It 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 which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage.

Other

Do not store gasoline from one season to another.

Replace your gasoline can if it starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in the gasoline will cause problems. Store unit in a clean, dry area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

NOTE: If storing in an unventilated or metal storage shed, be certain to rustproof the equipment by coating with a light oil or silicone.
