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 adjustments
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.
BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check engine oil level.

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.
