•Before reinstalling the blade and the blade adapter to the unit, lubricate the engine crankshaft and the inner surface of the blade adapter with light oil (or engine oil). Lubricating the bolt holes, bolts and inner surface of the nuts is also recommended.

NOTE: We do not recommend the use of pressure washers or garden hose to clean your unit. They may cause damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

To Reinstall Blade:

•Be sure to install the blade with the side of the blade marked “Bottom” (or with part number) facing the ground when the mower is in the operating position.

•Be certain the blade is aligned with and seated onto the blade adapter flanges.

•Place blade bell support on blade. Make sure the notches on the blade bell support are aligned with the small hole in the blade.

•Replace hex bolt.

•Tighten to torque: 450 in. lbs. min., 600 in. lbs. max.

•To ensure safe operation of mower, check all nuts and bolts periodically for correct torque.

Deck Maintenance

•The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves, dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper mulching.

•The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug wire is disconnected).

Engine Maintenance

•Refer to the separate engine manual for all engine maintenance instructions.

•Maintain ENGINE OIL as instructed in the engine manual.

•Service AIR CLEANER every 25 hours under normal conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should be serviced. To service the air cleaner, refer to the engine manual.

•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; check engine manual for correct plug type and gap specifications.

•CLEAN the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) cleaned to permit proper air circulation which is essential to engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all grass, dirt and combustible debris from muffler area.

SECTION 10: OFF-SEASON STORAGE

The following steps should be taken to prepare lawn mower for storage.

•Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as described in the lubrication instructions.

NOTE: We do not recommend the use of pressure washers or garden hose to clean your unit. They may cause damage to electric components, spindles, pulleys, bearings or the engine. The use of water will result in shortened life and reduce serviceability.

•Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage instructions.

•Coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis grease to prevent rusting.

•Store mower in a dry, clean area. Do not store next to corrosive materials, such as fertilizer.

NOTE: When storing any type of power equipment in an unventilated or metal storage shed, care should be taken to rust-proof the equipment. Using a light oil or silicone, coat the equipment, especially cables and all moving parts.
