BEFORE STARTING ENGINE

Your lawn mower is shipped without oil in the

engine.

* Be sure mower is level and area around oil

fillis clean.

•Remove engine oilcap and fillto the full

line on the dipstick.

NOTE: Allow oil to settle down into

engine for accurate dipstick reading.

• Engine holds 20 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 dipstick.

•To read proper level, tighten engine oil cap

each time.

•Reinstall engine oil cap and tighten.

•Change the oil after every 25 hours of

operation or each season. You may need

to change the oil more often under dusty,

dirty conditions.

ADD GASOUNE

NOTE: Before filling fuel tank, remove

and discard the debris plug that is inside

the tank.

•Fillfuel tank, Use fresh, clean, regular

unleaded gasoline with a minimum of 87

octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.

Purchase fuel in quantitiesthat 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 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 carburetor cleaner products in fuel tank

,_permanent damage may occur.

CAUTION: Fill to bottom of gas tank

filler neck. Do not overfill. Wipe off any

spilled oil or fuel. Do not store, spill or use

gasoline near an open flame.

TO START ENGINE

•To start a cold engine, push primer three

(3) times before tryingto start. Use a firm

push. This step is not usually necessary

when starting an engine which has already

runforafew minutes.

•Hold operator presence control bar down

to the handle and pull starter handle

quickly. Do not allow starter rope to snap

back.

•To stop engine, release operator presence

control bar.

NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary

to repeat primingsteps. In warmer weather

over priming may cause floodingand engine

willnot start. Ifyou doflood engine, wait a few

minutes before attemptingto start and do not

repeal priming steps.

MOW_G_PS

•Under certain conditions,such as very tall

grass, itmay be necessary to raisethe

height of cut to reduce pushing effortand to

keep from overloading the engine and

leaving dumps of grass clippings. It may

also be necessary to reduce ground speed

and/or runthe lawn mower over the area a

second time.

•Forextremely 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.

• 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 "lIPS

IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep

mower housing free of buiit-up grass end

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 clippingsmany times and reduce

them in size so thatas they fall onto the

lawn they will disperse intothe grass and

not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass wilt

biodegrade quickly to provide nutrientsfor

the lawn. Always mulch with your highest

engine (blade) speed as this will provide

the best recuttingaction of the blades.

• Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet

grass tends to form clumps and interferes

with the mulching action. The best time to

mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At

this time the grass has dried and the newly

cut area willnot be exposed to the direct

sun.

•For best results,adjustthe lawn mower

cuttingheight so that the lawn mower cuts

off only the top one-thirdof the grass

blades. Ifthe lawn is overgrown itwill be

necessary to raise the height ofcut to

reduce pushing effort and to keep from

overloading the engine and leaving

clumps of mulched grass. For extremely

heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut,

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 first cut path.

•Change your cutting pattern 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 graining of

the lawn.
