AIR FILTER

Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged by using a dirty air fi lter. Replace the air fi lter every 100 hours of operation or every season, whichever occurs fi rst. Service air cleaner more often under dusty conditions. See the maintenance section of your engine manual.

MUFFLER

Inspect and replace corroded muffl er as it could create a fi re hazard and/or damage.

SPARK PLUG

Replace spark plug at the beginning of each mowing season or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs

CLEANING

IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN THE UNDERSIDE OF YOUR MOWER AFTER EACH USE.

CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.

•Clean the underside of your lawn mower by scraping to remove build-up of grass and trash.

•Clean engine often to keep trash from accumulating. A clogged engine runs hotter and shortens engine life.

•Keep fi nished surfaces and wheels free of gasoline, oil, etc.

•We do not recommend using a garden hose to clean lawn mower unless the electrical system, muffl er, air fi lter and carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water in engine can result in shortened engine life.

CLEAN UNDER DRIVE COVER

Clean under drive cover at least twice a season. Scrape un- derside of cover with putty knife or similar tool to remove any build-up of trash or grass on underside of drive cover.
