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 adjust-
ments
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
assure
proper
air-fuel
mixture
and help
your engine run better and last longer.
• Follow the maintenance
schedule
in
this manual.

IMPORTANT:
Do not oil or grease
plastic wheel bearings.
Viscous
lubricants
will attract dust and dirt that
will shorten the life of the self-lubricat-
ing bearings.
If you feel they must be
lubricated,
use only a dry, powdered
graphite type lubricant sparingly.
