Maintenance

!

WARNING

!

DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or service with engine and blade running. STOP engine and blade. Disconnect spark plug wire and secure away from spark plug. Engine and components are HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for all components to cool. Wear heavy leather gloves when handling or working around cutting blades. Blades are extremely sharp and can cause severe injury.

Wheel Drive Components

1.Remove the rear cover. Refer to the Section entitled “Rear Cover Removal & Installation”.

2.Clean any debris buildup on or around the transmission, axles, idler, pulleys, belt, etc., as well as on the inside of the cover. Check components for wear or damage.

Replace worn or damaged components immediately.

3.Replace the rear cover.

Important: DO NOT operate the mower without the rear cover securely in place.

Storage Procedure

Refer to the Engine Owner’s Manual for directions regarding engine storage preparations. Prepare the mower for “end of season” storage as follows:

1.Drain the fuel from the fuel tank and let the engine run until all fuel is out of the carburetor.

2.Disconnect and remove the spark plug wire away from the spark plug before any other preparations are made!

3.Tape all openings closed to prevent spraying water into the exhaust or air intakes during washing.

4.Tilt the mower up on its rear wheels and thoroughly clean the underside of the deck. Do not tilt the mower with the spark plug or carburetor down. Scrape away any accumulation of grass with a putty knife and/or wire brush.

5.Lubricate all exposed metal with a light coating of oil to prevent corrosion.

6.Carefully fold the handles, “flexing” the control cables to prevent cable damage.

7.Store the mower in a shed or other dry area, protected from weather.
