positions; from 1 I/2" to 31/2".

MOWER COVER: Sears Tyvek_cover protects mower from weather when stored outdoors.

GAS CAN: A new gas can keeps rust and dirt out of fue! systemfor longer engine life and improved performance. Crafts-

man gas cans have built in filters to keep impurities ou_ of your engine.

IMPORTANTTIPSTO HELPYOURLAWNMOWERSTARTFASTER,RUN AND PERFORMBETTER

1. USE UNLEADED GASOLINE: It burns cleaner and leaves less residue in the engine. Regular gasoline can also be

used. DO NOT usegasoline containing any alcohol or with any additives.

2. DRA1N OR RUN-OUT ALL GASOLINE FROM TANK AT THE END OF THE SEASON: DO NOT leave gasoline

in your mower when stored for tong periods. It will "GUM" your engine. Run engine until the gasoline runs out.

3. START EACH MOWING SEASON WITH FRESH GASOLIN E: DO NOT keep gasotine in your can. If your gasoline

can is starting to rust, replace can.

4. CHANGE YOUR SPARK PLUG EVERY SPRING: An old corroded spark ptug prevents fast starting and smooth

running engine.

5. REPLACE YOUR AIR CLEANER OR F_LTEROFTEN: Dirt, along with heat can harm your engine, the cleaner or

filter will clog up, preventing clean air from reaching your engine. See "Air Cleaner/Filter ' section of this manual

for replacing air cleaner or filter.

6. USE SAE 10W30 OIL: DO NOT use SAE IOW40 oil.

7. CHANG_E OIL AS RECOMMENDED: IMPORTANT - change oil after the first two (2) hours of use, then every 25

hours of use.

8. REPLACE THE BLADE WHEN NEEDED: You can sharpen the blade, but we do not recommend it. Erosion from

hitting foreign obiects can damage the blade. Replace blade with one specifically designed for your mower.

9. AT THE END OF THE SEASON, CLEAN YOUR MOWER: IMPORTANT - first disconnect the spark plug wire. If

possible, store your mower in a well ventilated area and protected from moisture.

10. FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS IN YOUR OWNERS MANUAl: Read your manual and keep

it in a convenient place for easy reference.
