GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this lawn mower does not cover items that
have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain
mower as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your unit.
All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of
this manual should be checked at least once each season.
•
Once a year, replace the spark plug, clean or replace air
filter element and check blade for wear. A new spark
plug and clean/new air filter element assures proper air-
fuel mixture and helps your engine run better and last
longer.
•
Follow the maintenance schedule in this manual.
BEFORE EACH USE
