TO SHARPEN
BLADE
NOTE:
We do not recommend
sharpening
the blade - but if you do, be sure the blade
is balanced.
Care should
be taken to keep the blade
balanced.
An unbalanced
blade will
cause
eventual
damage
to lawn mower
or
engine.
• The blade can be sharpened
with a file
or on a grinding
wheel.
Do not attempt
to sharpen
while on the mower.
• To check
blade balance,
drive a nail into
a beam or wall. Leave about
one inch of
the straight
nail exposed.
Place center
hole of blade over the head of the nail.
If blade is balanced,
it should
remain
in
a horizontal
position.
If either
end of the
blade moves
downward,
sharpen
the
heavy end until the blade is balanced.
GRASS
CATCHER
The grass catcher may be hosed with
water, but must be dry when used.
Check your grass catcher often for dam-
age or deterioration.
Through normal
use it will wear. If catcher needs replac-
ing, replace only with approved replace-
ment catcher shown in the Repair Parts
section of this manual. Give the lawn
mower model number when ordering.
ENGINE
LUBRICATION

NOTE:
Although
multi-viscosity
oils
(5W30,

etc.) improve
starting
in
cold weather,
these
multi-viscosity
oils will
result in increased
oil consumption
when
used above
32°R
Check your engine
oil
level more frequently
to avoid possible
engine
damage
from running
low on oil.
Check
the crankcase
oil level before
starting
the engine
and after each five (5)
hours of continuous
use. Tighten
oil plug
securely
each time you check
the oil level.
