3EFORE STARTING ENGINE

OIL

_'ourlawn mower is shipped without oilin the

=.ngine.

,Be sure mower is level and area around oil

flUis clean.

,Remove engine oilcap and fillto the full line

on the dipstick.

, Use 27 ozs. of oil. For type and grade of oil

to use, see "ENGINE" in Maintenance

section of this manual.

, Pour oil slowly. Do not over fill.

•Check oil level before each use. Add oil if

needed. Fillto full line on dil_tick.

•To read proper level, tighten engine oilcap

each {ime.

• Reinstall engine oilcap and tighten.

•Change the oilafter every 25 hours of

operation or each season. You may need

to change the oil more often under dusty,

dirtyconditions.

GAS

•Fillfuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87

octane. Do not mix oilwith gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quantities thatcan be used

within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

WARNING: Experience indicates that

alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

using ethanol or methanol) can attract

moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic

gas can damage the fuel system of an

engine while in storage. To avoid engine

problems, the fuel system should be

emptied before storage of 30 days or

longer. Drain the fuel tank, start the engine

and let it run until fuel lines and carburetor

are empty. Use fresh fuel next season.

See Storage Instructions for additional

information. Never use engine or carbure-

tor cleaner products in fuel tank or

permanent damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE

•To start a cold engine, push primer five (5)

times before trying to starL Use a firm push.

This step is not usually necessary when

starting an engine which has already runfor

afew minutes.

• Hold operator presence controlbar down to

the handle and pullstarter handle quickly.

Do not allow starter rope to snap back.

•To stop engine, release operator presence

controlbar.

NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary

to repeat priming steps. In warmer weether

over priming may cause flooding and engine

will not start. If you do flood engine, wait a few

minutes before attempting to startand do not

repeat priming steps.

MOWING TIPS

•Under certain conditions, such as very

tall grass, it may be necessary to raise

the height of cut to reduce pushing effort

and to keep from overloading the engine

and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It

may also be necessary to reduce

ground speed and/or run the lawn

mower over the area a second time.

•For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the

width of cut by overlapping previously

cut path and mow slowly.

• For better grass bagging and most

cutting conditions, the engine speed

should be set in the fast position.

• When using a rear discharge lawn

mower in moist, heavy grass, clumps of

cut grass may not enter the grass

catcher. Reduce ground speed (push-

ing speed) and/or run the lawn mower

over the area a second time.

•If a trail of clippings is left on the right

side of a rear discharge mower, mow in

a clockwise direction with a small

overlap to collect the clippings on the

next pass.

• Pores in cloth grass catchers can

become filled with dirt and dust with use

and catchers will collect less grass. To

prevent this, regularly hose catcher off

with water and let dry before using.

• Keep top of engine around starter clear

and clean of grass clippings and chaff.

This will help engine air flow and extend

engine life.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep

mower housing free of built-up grass and

trash. Clean UNDERSIDE OF MOWER

HOUSING after each use. See "Cleaning" in

MAINTENANCE section of this manual.

• The special mulching blade will recut the

grass clippings many times and reduce

them in size so that as they fall onto the

lawn they will disperse into the grass and

not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will

biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for

the lawn. Always mulch with your highest

engine (blade) speed as this will provide the

best recutting action of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet

grass tends to form dumps and interferes

with the mulching action. The best time to

mow your lawn is the early aftemoon. At this

time the grass has dried and the newly cut

area will not be exposed to the direct sun.

• For best results, adjust the lawn mower

cutting height so that the lawn mower cuts

off only the top one-third of the grass blades.

Ifthe lawn is overgrown it willbe necessary

to raise the height of cutto reduce pushing

effort and to keep from overloading the

engine and leaving clumps of mulched

grass. For extremely heavy mulching,

reduce your width ofcut, mow slowly and

raise the rear of the lawn mower one wheel

adjuster setting higher than the front.

•Certain types of grass and grass conditions

may require that an area be mulched a

second time to completely hide the

clippings.When doing a second cut, mow

across or perpendicular to the firstcut path.

•Change your cutting pettem from week to

week. Mow north to south one week then

change to east to west the next week. This

will help prevent matting and grainingof the

lawn.
