SERVICING THE ENGINE
See separate engine Owner's Manual.
INSPECTING AND LUBRICATING THE MOWER
The reel bearings are sealed for life and do not require lubrication.
The following lubrication points should be oiled approximately every
25 hours of operation with SAE30-40 oil.
1. Driving Chains. Keep moistened with oil. This lubrication re-
quires the removal of the chain cover, which can be lifted clear
after unscrewing the two retaining screws.
2. Roller clutch bail pivot points.
3. Front rollers. Apply oil to roller shaft at each end of the rollers.
4. Height Adjustment screw thread. Hand wheel and all pivot
points.
5. Cables. Apply oil to each end.
6. Self Adjusting Chain Adjuster. Apply oil to pivot.
Warning!
NEVER LUBRICATE WHILE MOTOR IS RUNNING.

Cleaning and storage

There is a direct relationship between the mower's life and the care
and attention given to the mower both during and after operation.
It is important that the mower is thoroughly cleaned down after use
and inspected so that it will be in good working order the next time
it is required.
Thoroughly clean the engine, under the chassis, the rollers and the
grass catcher. Use of a high pressure water jet, especially around
the engine, may force water into places where it may drive out lubri-
cants or cause hard starting from ignition damage.
LONG TERM STORAGE:
After each mowing season or if the mower is not going to be used
for 30 days or more, it is recommended that the fuel shut off valve
be closed off (where fitted) and the fuel tank be drained as mod-
ern fuels have a short shelf life. The mower should then be started
up and run until all of the fuel left in the system is used. While the
engine is warm, drain the engine oil and refill with the correct grade
to the required level. Remove the spark plug and pour 5ml of engine
oil into the engine cylinder, crank slowly to distribute the oil and
replace the spark plug. Store the mower in a clean dry area away
from direct sunlight.
Adjust the cutting reel away from the bottom blade and apply a thin
layer of grease to the cutting edges to prevent corrosion through
the storage period. If possible, spray the mower with a thin film of
light oil to protect it.
Always store the mower on a flat, level surface.
