BEFORE MOWING

Air Cleaner
Check that the air filters are clean and in good condition. Dirty air
filters restrict air flow to the carburetor, reducing engine performance.

INOTICE~

Operating the engine without filters, or with damaged filters,
allows dirt to enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear. This
type of damage is not covered by the Distributors Limited
Warranty.
1. Unscrew and remove the air cleaner cover knob, then remove
the cover.
2. Inspect the paper filter. Remove and inspect the foam filter.
Replace damaged filters. Clean or replace dirty filters. See
page 42 for cleaning instructions.
3. Reinstall the filters and cover. Tighten the cover knob securely.

ARE YOU Ready to Mow?
Just in case you have missed a hidden object in your lawn, be
sure to wear protective clothing. Long pants and eye protection
can lower your risk of injury from thrown objects. Wear footwear
that protects your feet and won’t let you slip if you mow on slopes
or uneven ground.
