SECTION 8: MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Always stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire before performing any maintenance work or adjustments on your lawn mower.

Cleaning Mower

The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent any build-up of grass clippings, leaves, dirt, or other debris. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will result in rust and corrosion.

•Disconnect spark plug wire.

•Drain the gasoline from the lawn mower, or place a piece of plastic under the gas cap.

•Tip the mower so that it rests on the housing. Keep the side with the air cleaner facing up. Hold the mower firmly.

•Scrape and clean the underside of the deck with a suitable tool.

•Put the mower back on its wheels on the ground. If you had put plastic under the gas cap, make sure to remove it now.
