SAFETY IS iNVOLVED.
WARNING: inorder to prevent acciden-
tal starting when setting up, transport-
ing, adjusting or making repairs, always
disconnect spark plug wire and place
wire where it cannot come in contact
with plug.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that
children be a minimum of 12 year of age before operating
a pedestrian controlled lawn mower and a minimum of 16
years of age before operating a riding lawn mower.
Tragic accidents can occur if the operator is not alert to
the presence of children. Children are often attracted to
the machine and the mowing activity. Never assume that
children will remain where you last saw them.
• Keep children out of the mowing area and under the
watchful care of a responsible adult other than the
operator.
• Be alert and turn machine off ifchildren enter the area.
CAUTION: Muffler and other engine
parts become extremely hot during
operation and remain hot after engine
has stopped. To avoid severe burns on
contact, stay away from these areas.
&WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of
its constituents, and certain vehicle
components contain or emit chemi-
cals known to the State of California
to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
&WARNING: Battery posts, termi rials and
related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds, chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer
and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.

WARNING: This lawn mower isequipped
with an internal combustion engine and
should not be used on or near any
unimproved forest-covered, brush-
covered or grass-covered land un-
less the engine's exhaust system is
equipped with a spark attester meeting
applicable local or state laws (if any).
if a spark attester is used, it should be
maintained in effective working order
by the operator.
In the state of California the above is required by law(Sec-
tion 4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other
states may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal
lands. A spark arrester for the muffler is available through
your nearest authorized service center.

III. SLOPE OPERATION
Slopes are a major factor related to slip & fall accidents,
which can result in severe injury. All slopes require extra
caution. If you feel uneasy on a slope, do not mow it.
DO:
• Mow across the face of slopes: never up and down.
Exercise extreme caution when changing direction on
slopes.
• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc.
• Watch for holes, ruts, bumps or hidden objects. Uneven
terrain could cause a slip and fall accident. Tall grass
can hide obstacles.
DO NOT:
• Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches or embankments.
You could lose your footing or balance.
• Do not mow on wet grass or excessively steep slopes.
Poor footing could cause a slip and fall accident.
IV. SAFE HANDLING OF GASOLINE
To avoid personal injury or property damage, use extreme
care in handling gasoline. Gasoline isextremelyflammable
and the vapors are explosive.
• Extinguish all cigarettes, cigars, pipes and other sources
of ignition.
• Use only an approved container.
• Never remove gas cap or add fuel with the engine
running.
• Allow engine to cool before refueling.
o
o
Never refuel the machine indoors.
Never store the machine or fuel container where there
is an open flame, spark or pilot light such as a water
heater or on other appliances.
• Never fill containers inside a vehicle, on atruck or trailer
bed with a plastic liner. Always place containers on
the ground away from your vehicle before filling.
• Remove gas-powered equipment from the truck or
trailer and refuel it on the ground. If this is not possible,
then refuel such equipment with a portable container,
rather than from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
• Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel tank
or container opening at alltimes until fueling iscomplete.
Do not use a nozzle lock-open device.
• Iffuel isspilled on clothing, change clothing immediately.
• Never overfill fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten
securely.
V. GENERAL SERVICE

•Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not over-
fill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with
a minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.
Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30
days to assure fuel freshness.
BEFORE STARTING ENGINE
ADD OIL (See Fig. 10)
Your lawnmower is shipped without oil inthe engine. Fortype
and grade of oil to use, see "ENGINE" in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
CAUTION: DO NOT overfill engine with
oil, or it will smoke heavily from the
muffler on startup.
1. Be sure lawnmower is level.
2. Remove oil dipstick from oil fill spout.
3. You receive a container of oil with the unit. Slowly
pour the entire container down the oil fill spout into the
engine.
NOTE: Initial oil fill requires only 18 oz. due to residual oil
in engine from the manufacturers 100% quality testing.
When changing oil you may need 20 oz.
4. Insert and tighten dipstick.
iMPORTANT:
Check oil level before each use. Add oil if needed. Fiii
to full line on dipstick.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or each
season. You may need to change the oil more often
under dusty, dirty conditions. See "TO CHANGE EN-
GINE OIL" in the Maintenance section of this manual.
CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or
fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline
near an open flame.
Alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol
or using ethanol or methanol) can at-
tract moisturewhich leadsto separation
and formation of acids during storage.
Acidic gas can damage the fuel sys-
tem of an engine while in storage. To
avoid engine problems, the fuel system
should be emptied before storage of
30 days or longer. Empty the gas tank,
start the engine and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor are empty. Use
fresh fuel next season. See Storage
instructions for additional information.
Never use engine or carburetor cleaner
products in the fuel tank or permanent
damage may occur.

system. No priming or choking is required before start-
ing.
•To start engine, hold operator presence control bar
down to the handle and pull starter handle quickly. Do
not allow starter rope to snap back.

OPERATION
MOWING TIPS MULCHING MOWING TIPS
ACAUTION: Do not use de-thatcher
blade attachments on your mower.
Such attachments are hazardous, will
damage your mower and could void
your warranty.
Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it
may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce
pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine
and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be
necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawn
mower over the area a second time.
• For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut
by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.
• For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions,
the engine speed should be set in the fast position.
• Pores incloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt
and dust with use and catchers will collect less grass.
To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water
and let dry before using.
• Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of
grass clippings and chaff. This will help engine airflow
and extend engine life.
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER
HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. SEE
"CLEANING" IN THE MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THIS
MANUAL.
• The special mulching blade will recut the grass clip-
pings many times and reduce them in size so that as
they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass
and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biode-
grade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always
mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed as this
will provide the best recutting action of the blades.
• Avoid cutting your lawn when itis wet. Wet grasstends
to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.
The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon.
At this time the grass has dried, yet the newly cut area
will not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• For best results, adjust the lawn mower cutting height
so that the lawn mower cuts off only the top one-third
of the grass blades (See Fig. 11). If the lawn is over-
grown it will be necessary to raise the height of cut to
reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading
the engine and leaving clumps of mulched grass. For
extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut by
overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.
MAX 1/3
FIG. 11
• Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require
that an area be mulched a second time to completely
hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow
across (perpendicular) to the first cut path.
• Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow
north to south one week then east to west the next
week. This will help prevent matting and graining of
the lawn.

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. At least once a season, check to see if you should
make any of the adjustments described in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual.
• At least 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.
2. Check for loose fasteners.
LUBRICATION
Keep unit well lubricated (See "LUBRICATION CHART").
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OIL OR GREASE PLASTIC WHEEL

TO SHARPEN BLADE (See Fig. 13)
NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade- but if you
do, be sure the blade is balanced. An unbalanced blade
will cause eventual damage to lawn mower or engine.
• The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grind-
ing wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the
mowe r.
• To check blade balance, you will need a 5/8" diameter
steel bolt, pin, or a cone balancer. (When using a
cone balancer, follow the instructions supplied with
balancer.)
NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing blade. The lobes of
the center hole may appear to be centered, but are not.
• Slide blade on to an unthreaded portion ofthe steel bolt
or pin and hold the bolt or pin parallel with the ground.
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.

MAINTENANCE
GRASS CATCHER
The grass catcher may be hosed with water, but must
be dry when used.
Check your grass catcher often for damage or dete-
rioration. Through normal use itwill wear. If catcher
needs replacing, replace only with approved replace-
ment catcher. Give the lawn mower model number
when ordering.
GEAR CASE
To keep your drive system working properly, the gear
case and area around the drive should be kept clean
and free of trash build-up. Clean under the drive cover
twice a season.
• The gear case isfilled with lubricant to the proper level
at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs atten-
tion isif service has been performed on the gear case.
ENGINE
LUBRiCATiON
Use only high quality detergent oil rated with API service
classification SG-SL. Select the oil's SAE viscosity grade
according to your expected operating temperature.
SAE VISCOSITY GRADES
F -20 0 30 32 40 60 80 100
O -30 -2; -1; ; 1'0 20 30 4;
TEMPERATURE RANGE ANTICIPATED BEFORE NEXT OIL CHANGE
NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 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.
Change the oil after every 25 hours of operation or at least
once a year if the lawn mower is not used for 25 hours in
one year.
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.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Fig. 14)
NOTE: Before tipping lawn mower to drain oil, empty fuel
tank by running engine until fuel tank is empty.
1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place
wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.
2. Remove engine oil cap; lay aside on a clean surface.
3. Tip lawn mower on itsside as shown and drain oil into
a suitable container. Rock lawn mower back and forth
to remove any oil trapped inside of engine.
4. Wipe off any spilled oil from lawn mower or side of
engine.
5. Slowly pour oil down the oil fill spout, stopping every
few ounces to check the oil level with the dipstick.
6. Stop adding oil when you reach the FULL mark on the
dipstick. Wait a minute to allow oil to settle.
co
FIG. 14
7. Continue adding small amounts of oil, rechecking the
dipstick until oil level settles at FULL. DO NOT over-
fill, or engine will smoke heavily from the muffler on
startup.
8. Always be sure to retighten oil dipstick before starting
engine.
9. Reconnect spark plug wire to spark plug.
AIR FILTER (See Fig. 15)
Your engine will not run properly and may be damaged
by using a dirty air filter. Replace the air filter cartridge
every 100 hours of operation or every season, whichever
occurs first. Service air cleaner more often under dusty
conditions.
TO CLEAN AIR FILTER
1. Loosen screw and tilt cover to remove.
2. Carefully remove cartridge.

and easy cleaning of the underside of the housing. To use
this feature, proceed as follows:
1. Move lawn mower to an area of cut grass or another
hard surface.
NOTE: Water, grass and other debris will drain from beneath
the mower housing during the washout process.
2. Remove grass catcher and discharge chute assembly
from lawn mower.
3. Close mulcher door (if equipped).
4. Connect a garden hose to the fitting where shown.
iMPORTANT: BE SURE THE GARDEN HOSE iS NOT ROUTED
UNDER THE LAWN MOWER HOUSING OR ENTANGLED iN
THE WHEELS.

FUEL SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: ITIS IMPORTANTTO PREVENTGUM DEPOSITS
FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS
SUCH AS CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR
TANK DURING STORAGE. ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS
(CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR METHANOL)
CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION
AND FORMATION OFACIDS DURING STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable alternative in mini-
mizing the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage.
Add stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or storage container.
Always follow the mix ratio found on stabilizer container.
Run engine at least 10 minutes after adding stabilizer to
allow the stabilizer to reach the carburetor. Do not empty
the gas tank and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
