SERVICE
DATES
Lubrication
Always stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning, lubricating or doing any kind of service work on the lawn mower.
Blade Control: Lubricate the pivot points on the blade control handle at least once a season with light oil. The blade control must operate freely in both directions.
See Figure 13.

Figure 13
Wheels: Lubricate the wheels at least once a season with light oil (or motor oil). If the wheels are removed for any reason, lubricate the surface of the axle bolt and inner surface of the wheel with light oil. See Figure 13.
Chute Deflector: Lubricate the torsion springs and pivot points on chute deflector using light oil. This will insure the deflector, which is a safety device, can always work properly. See Figure 13.
Engine: Follow the separate engine manual packed with you unit for lubrication instructions.
Maintenance
NOTE: When tipping the unit, empty the fuel tank and keep the spark plug side of engine up. Never tip the mower more than 90 degrees and do not leave the mower tipped for any length of time. Oil can drain into the upper part of the engine causing a starting problem.
Engine
Refer to the separate engine manual for all engine maintenance instructions.
•Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate engine manual packed with your unit.
•Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicate that the air cleaner should be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit.
•The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset once a season. Spark plug replacement is recommended at the start of each mowing season.
