It is important to clean underside of the mower deck after use to prevent the build-up of grass clippings or
other debris. Follow steps below for proper cleaning.
1. Allow the engine to run until it is out of fuel. Do not attempt to pour fuel from the engine.
2. Disconnect spark plug wire.
3. Slowly tip mower so that it rests on the housing.
4. To prevent oil spills, always tip the mower so that the Air Filter is facing up.
5. Hold mower firmly and scrape and clean the underside of the deck with a suitable tool.
6. Gently lower the mower back on its wheels on the ground.
Warning: Never tip the mower more than 90° in any direction and do not leave the mower tipped for any
length of time. Oil can drain into the upper part of the engine causing a starting problem.
MOWER BLADE
To ensure safe operation, have all blade sharpening, balancing and mounting work carried out by an
authorized service center. To achieve optimal results, we recommend having the blade checked once a
year.
If, in spite of all caution, the blade comes into contact with an obstacle, switch off the engine immediately
and pull off the spark plug connector. Tilt the lawn mower to the rear and check the blade for damage.
Always keep the side with the air cleaner facing up. Damaged or bent blades must be replaced. Never
straighten a bent blade. Never work with bent or heavily worn blades as this will result in vibrations,
causing further damage to the mower.
Warning: Risk of injury when working with a damaged blade.
CHECKING THE OIL
The oil capacity of the engine crankcase is 16.9fl. oz.
Check the oil level of the engine according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule.
The lawn mower should be checked before each use for proper oil level. This is a critical step for proper
engine starting.
To check the oil level:
1. Make sure the lawn mower is on a level surface.
2. Clean around oil fill. Remove dipstick and wipe the dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick into
the oil fill opening without screwing in. Remove the dipstick to check the oil mark. Add oil if the oil
mark covers less than one half of the dipstick.
3. Slowly add more oil and repeat step 2 until the oil mark reaches to the top of dipstick. Do not over fill
the crankcase.
4. Reinstall oil dipstick.
CHANGING/ADDING OIL
Change the oil according to the Recommended Maintenance Schedule. Change the oil when the engine is
warm. This will allow for complete drainage. Change oil more often if operating under heavy load or high
ambient temperatures. It is also necessary to drain the oil from the crankcase if it has become
contaminated with water or dirt. The oil capacity of the engine is 16.9 fl.oz. Add oil when the oil level is
