engine hood, remove the spark plug and pour three tablespoons (approx-
imately 1 oz.) of clean motor oil into the cylinder.
MOTOR OIL

front clutch several rotations by hand, then return the P.T.O. lever to the
OFF position. Reinstall the spark plugs.

clutch. If the lawn tractor has been running, the engine will be very hot.
Allow it to cool before proceeding.

month.
