Engine

A list of key maintenance jobs required for good performance by the mower is given below. Follow the accompanying engine manual for detailed list and instructions.

Change engine oil after the first two operating hours and every 25 operating hours thereafter. Always check oil level before starting engine.

Clean the engine periodically. Remove dirt and debris with a cloth or brush. We do not recommend the use of pressure washers or garden hose to clean your unit.These may cause damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will shorten life of the mower and reduce its serviceability.

Clean the spark plug and reset the gap to .030” at least once a season or every 50 hours of operation. Spark plug replacement is recommended at the start of each season. Refer to the engine manual for correct spark plug type.

Inspect muffler periodically, and replace if necessary. Damaged mufflers or spark arresters can create a fire hazard.

WARNING: Make sure to avoid muffler and surrounding areas while the mower engine is hot because temperature of these areas of the engine may exceed 150o F.

Lubrication

(Refer to Lubrication Chart in Figure 15.)

WARNING: Always stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning, lubricating or doing any kind of work on lawn mower.

Blade Control

Lubricate the pivot points on the blade control handle and the brake cable at least once a season with light oil. The blade control must operate freely in both directions.

Rear & Side Discharge Doors

The torsion springs and pivot points should be lubricated periodically with light oil to prevent any rust or binding. Door must work freely.

Wheels

The wheels require no lubrication. However, if the wheels are removed for any reason, lubricate the surface of the axle bolt and the inner surface of the wheel with light oil. Engine oil may also be used.

Transmission

The transmission is pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory and does not require lubrication on a regular basis as part of maintenance. However, if

you disassemble the transmission for any reason, refill with two ounces of Alvania grease (part # 737- 0168) as part of reassembly.

Engine

Follow engine manual for instruction and schedule of lubrication.

NOTE: When tipping the unit, empty the fuel tank and keep engine spark plug side up.

Blade Care

Periodically inspect the blade adapter and pulley for cracks, especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace when necessary.

WARNING: When removing the cutting blade for sharpening or replacement, protect hands by using heavy gloves or a thick rag to grasp the cutting blade.

Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.

To Remove Blade

Remove the bolt and bell washer which hold the blade-pulley assembly to the engine crankshaft. See Figure 16. Remove assembly from crankshaft.

Remove the two bolts and lock nuts from the blade assembly.

Remove the blade from the blade adapter and pulley.

To Replace Blade:

Before reinstalling the blade-pulley assembly to the unit, lubricate engine crankshaft and inner surface

of the blade adapter with light oil or engine oil.
