Clean engine often to keep trash from accumulating. A
clogged engine runs hotter and shortens engine life.
Keep fi nished surfaces/wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc.
With the exception of the water washout port (if
equipped), we do not recommend using a garden
hose to clean the outside of your lawn mower unless
the elec tri cal system, muffl er, air fi lter and carburetor
are covered to keep water out. Water in engine can
result in shortened engine life.
