MOWING TIPS
•Under certain conditions, such as verytall
grass, it may be necessary to raisethe
height of cutto reduce pushingeffod and to
keep from overloadingthe engine and
leaving dumps of grassdlppinge.
•For extremely heavy cutting,reduce the
width of cut and raisethe rear of the lawn
mower housing one (1) wheel adjuster
settinghigherthan the front for better
dischargeof grass.
•For better grass bagging and mostcutting
conditions,the enginespeed should be set
inthe fast position.
•When using a rear dischargelawn mower in
moist, heavy grass, dumps ofcut grass
may notenter the grasscatcher. Reduce
groundspeed (pushing speed) and/or run
thelawnmowerovertheareaasecond
time.
•ffa trail of grass dippings is left on the dght
side of amar dischargelawn mower, mow
in aclockwisedirection with asmall ovedap
tocollectthe clippingsonthe next pass.
• Keep top of engine around starterclear and
clean ofgrass clippingsand chaff.This will
help engine air flow and extend engine life.
•Pores incloth grass catchers can become
tilled withdirt and dustwith use and
catchers willcollectlessgrass.To prevent
this, regularlyhose catchers offwithwater
and letdry before using.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep
mower housingfree ofbuilt-upgrass and trash.
Clean UNDERSIDE OF MOWER HOUSING
after each use. See "Cleaning"in CUSTOMER
RESPONSIBILITIES section ofthis manual.
•The special mulchingblade will recutthe
grass clippingsmany times and reduce
them insize so that as they fall ontothe
lawnthey willdisperse intothe grass and
notbe noticed.Also, the mulched grasswill
biodegrade quicklyto provide nutrientsfor
the lawn. Always mulchwith your highest
engine (blade) speed as this will provide the
best recuttingactionofthe blades,
• Avoid cuttingyour lawnwhen it iswet. Wet
grass tends toform dumps and interferes
with the mulchingaction. The best time to
mow your lawn isthe early affemoon. At this
time the grass,hasdried and the newly cut
area will not be exposed to the directsun.
Forbestresults,adjustthe lawnmower

when used above 32°F. Check your
engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low
on oil.
Changethe oilafterevery 25 hoursofopera-
tionorat leastonce ayear ifthe lawnmower

CLEANING
IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep
mower housing free of built--up grass and
trash. Clean underside of mower housing
after each use.
CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire
from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with the spark
plug.
•Tum lawn mower on its side. Make sure
air filter and carburetor are up. 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 and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
•We DO NOT recommend using a
garden hose to clean lawn mower
unless the electrical system, muffler, air
filter and carburetor are covered to keep
water out. Water in engine can result in
shortened engine life.
CAUTION: Before performing any
service or adjustments:
• Release control bar.
•Make sure the blade and all moving
parts have completely stopped.
•Disconnect spark plug wire from
spark plug and place where it cannot
come in contact with plug.

IMPORTANT: It is importantto preventbum
depositsfrom forming in essentialjuel system
pads suchas carburetor,fuel filter,fuel hose,
or tank dunng storabe.Also, experience
indicates thatalcololblindedfuels (called
