TO REPLACE BLADE

haft. Be sure key in adapter and crankshaft keyway
are aligned.
2.Be sure the trailing edge of blade(opposite sharp
edge) is up toward the engine.

blade adapter and crankshaft.
4.Use block of wood between blade and lawn mower
housing and tighten the blade bolt, turning clockwise.
IMPORTANT: BLADE BOLT IS GRADE
10.9 HEAT TREATED.
TO SHARPEN BLADE
NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade but
if you do, be sure the blade is balanced.
Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced.An
unbalanced blade will cause eventual damage to lawn
mower or engine.
The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a
grinding wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on
the mower.
To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam
or wall. Leave about one inch of the straight nail
exposed. Place center hole of blade over the head
of the nail. If blade is balanced, it should remain in
a horizontal position. If either ends of the blade moves
downward, sharpen the heavy end until the blade is
balanced.
GRASS CATCHER (except 2in1 mower)
The grass catcher may be hosed with water, but
must be dry when used.
Check your grass catcher often for damage or
deterioration. Through normal use it will wear. If ca-
tcher needs replacing, replace only with a manufa-
cturer approved replacement catcher. Give the lawn
mower model number when ordering.
DRIVE WHEELS ( power propelled)
Check rear drive wheels each time you mow to be
sure they move freely. The wheels not turning freely
means trash, grass cuttings, etc. may be inside the
drive wheel and dust cover area and must be cleaned
out to free drive wheels.If necessary to clean the d-
rive wheels, check both rear wheels.
1.Remove hubcaps, bolt, spring lock washer and
washer.
2.Remove wheels from wheel adjuster axles.
3.Remove any trash or grass cutting from inside the
dust cover, pinion and/or drive wheel gear teeth.
NOTE: The pinion gear, on both sides of the mower,
are the same, however, they must be installed correctly.
If installed incorrectly, the drive system will not work.
4.Place wheels back on adjuster axles.
5.Replace spring lock washer, washer, bolt and hub
caps.
DRIVE BELT
If the belt must be replaced, please contact your ser-
vice agent for details.
ENGINE
Read the Maintenance section of your engine manual.
LUBRICATION
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API se-
rvice classification SF-SJ. Select the oil's SAE visc-
osity grade according to your expected operating t-
emperature.

Temperature range anticipated before next oil change.
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30,10W30
etc) improve starting in cold weather, these multi-
viscosity oils will result in increased oil consumption
when used above 32 F. Check your engine oil level
more frequently to avoid possible engine damage from
running low on oil. Change the oil after every 25hours
of operation or at least once a year if the lawn mower
i s n o t u s e d f o r 2 5 h o u r s i n o n e y e a r. C h e c k t h e
crankcase oil level before starting the engine and
after each five (5) hours of continuous use. Tighten
oil plug securely each time you check the oil level.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL
NOTE: Before tipping lawn mower to drain oil, drain
fuel tank by running engine until fuel tank is empty.
1.Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and
place wire where it cannot come in contact with spark plug.
2.Remove engine oil cap; lay aside on a clean surface.
3.Tip lawn mower on its side as shown and drain oil
into a suitable container. Rock lawn mower back and
forth to remove any oil trapped inside of engine.
4.Return lawn mower to upright position. Wipe off any
spilled oil from lawn mower or side of engine.
5.Fill engine with oil. See ADD OIL in the Operation
section of this manual.
6.Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.
CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with spark plug.
CLEANING
1.Clean the underside of your lawn mower by scra-
ping to remove build-up of grass and trash.
2.Clean engine often to keep trash from accumulating.
A clogged engine runs hotter and shortens engine life.
3.Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gaso-
line, oil, etc.
4.We do not recommend using a garden hose to clean
lawn mower unless the electrical system, muffler, air
filter and carburetor are covered to keep water out.
Water in engine can result in shortened engine life.
AIR FILTER
Your engine will not run properly and may be damag-
ed by using a dirty air filter. Clean the element after
every 25hours of operation, more often if lawn mower
is used in very dusty, dirty conditions.
See the maintenance section of your engine manual.
MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it could create
a fire hazard and/or damage.
SPARK PLUG
Change your spark plug each year to make your e-
ngine start easier and run better. Set spark plug gap
at.030 inch.
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMAN-
CE, KEEP MOWER HOUSING FREE OF
BUILT-UP GRASS&TRASH. CLEAN THE
UNDERSIDE OF YOUR MOWER AFTER
EACH USE.
