Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to properly maintain your unit. At least once a season, check to see if you should make any of the adjustments

described in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

At least once a year, replace the spark plug, clean or replace air filter element and check blade for wear. A new spark plug and clean/new air filter element assure proper air-fuel mixture and help 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.

LU BRICATION

(See "LUBRICATION CHART").

@ Engine oil

Mulcher door hinge pin

Rear door hinge

Handle bracket mounting pins
