GAS

• Fillfuel tank. Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87

octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quantities that can 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 dudng 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 starta coldengine, push primer five (5)

times before tryingto start. Use a firm push,

This step is notusually necessary when

the handle and pull starter handle qu_ly.

Do not allow starter rope to snap back.

control bar.

NOTE: Incooler weather if may be necessary

to repeat priming steps. Inwarmer weather

over priming may cause flooding and engine

will not start.Ifyou do flood engine, waita few

minutes before attempting to start and 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 dght

side of a rear discharge mower, mow in

a clockwise direction with a small

ovedap 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, regulady 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.

MULCHINGMOWINGTIPS

IMPORTANT:Forbestperformance,keep

mower housing free ofbuilt-up grass and

trash.Clean UNDERSIDE OF MOWER

HOUSING aftereach use. See "Cleaning" in

MAINTENANCE sectionofthis 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 intothe grass and

not be noticed.Also, the mulched grass will

biodegrade quickly to providenutrientsfor

the lawn. Always mulch with your highest

engine (blade) speed as this will providethe

best recutUngaction ofthe blades.

• Avoid cuttingyour lawn when itiswet. Wet

grasstends toform dumps and interferes

with the mulching action.The best time to

mow yourlawn isthe early afternoon. At this

timethe grass has dried and the newly cut

area willnot be exposed to the directsun.

• For best results,adjustthe lawn mower

cuttingheightso that the lawn mower cuts

oftonlythe top one-thirdofthe grass blades.

Ifthe lawn isovergrown itwillbe necessary

to raise the heightofcut to reducepushing

effort and to keep from overloadingthe

engine and leavingclumps ofmulched

grass. Forextremely heavy mulching,

reduce yourwidthofcut, mow slowlyand

raise the rear ofthe lawn mower one wheel

adjustersettinghigherthan the front.

•Certain types ofgrass and grass conditions

may requirethat an area be mulched a

second time to completelyhide the

clippings. When doinga second cut, mow

across or perpendicularto the first cutpath.

• Change yourcutting patternfrom weekto

week. Mow northtosouthone week then

change toeast towest the next week. This

willhelp preventmarlingand grainingof the

lawn.
