•
Clean the underside of your lawn mower by scraping
to remove build-up of grass and trash.
•
Clean engine often to keep trash from accumulating.
A clogged engine runs hotter and shortens engine life.

Keep finished surfaces / wheels free of 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, muffler, air filter and carburetor

underside of cover with putty knife or similar tool to remove
any build-up of trash or grass on underside of drive cover.
