ENGINE AIR CLEANER
CAUTION: Do not allow dirt or dust to clog
the air fi lter foam element.
The engine air cleaner element must be
GB
serviced (cleaned) after 25 hours normal mowing. The
foam element must be serviced regularly if the mower
is used in dry dusty conditions.
TO CLEAN AIR FILTER
1. Remove screw.
2. Remove cover.
3. Wash fi lter element in soap water. DO NOT USE
GASOLINE!
4. Air dry fi lter element.
5. Place a few drops of SAE30 oil on the foam fi lter and
squeeze tightly to remove any excess oil.
6. Reinstall fi lter.
NOTE: Replace fi lter if frayed, torn, damaged
or unable to be cleaned.
CUTTING BLADE
CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect and ground
the spark plug wire before working on the
cutting blade to prevent accidental engine
starting. Protect hands by using heavy gloves or a rag
to grasp the cutting blades.
WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade
adapter for cracks, especially if you strike a
foreign object. Replace when necessary. For
best results your blade should be sharp. The blade
may be resharpened by removing it and either grinding
or fi ling the cutting edge keeping as close to the original
bevel as possible. It is extremely important that each
cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to
prevent an unbalanced blade. Improper blade balance
will result in excessive vibration causing eventual
damage to the engine and mower.
BLADE MOUNTING TORQUE
Center Bolt must be tightened to 35 - 45 Nm torque. To
insure safe operation of your unit. ALL nuts and bolts
must be checked periodically for correct tightness. After
prolonged use, especially in sandy soil conditions, the
blade will become worn and lose some of the original
shape. Cutting effi ciently will be reduced and the blade
should be replaced. Replace with an approved factory
replacement blade only. Possible damage resulting
from blade unbalance condition is not the responsibility
of the manufacturer.
