SAFETY RULES
WARNING: This lawn mower is equipped with an in-
ternal combustion engine and should not be used on or
near any unimproved forest-covered, brush-covered or
grass-covered land unless the engine’s exhaust system
is equipped with a spark arrester meeting applicable local
or state laws (if any). If a spark arrester is used, it should
be maintained in effective working order by the operator.
A spark arrester for the muffler is available through your
nearest authorized service center.
WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of its constituents,
and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known

MULCHING MOWING TIPS
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 it is wet. Wet grass tends
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.
OPERATION
• Certaintypes ofgrass andgrassconditions mayrequire
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.
FIG. 11
MAX 1/3
MOWING TIPS
CAUTION: 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.
• Poresin clothgrass catcherscan becomefilled withdirt
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 air flow
and extend engine life.

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

icals which can harm rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and
other hazards that may cause tire damage.
DRIVE WHEELS
Check front drive wheels each time before you mow to be
sure they move freely.
The wheels not turning freely means trash, grass cuttings,
etc. are in the drive wheel area and must be cleaned to
free drive wheels.
If necessary to clean the drive wheels, be sure to clean
both front wheels.
1. Remove hubcaps, locknuts and washers.
2. Remove wheels from wheel adjusters.
3. Remove any trash or grass cuttings from inside the

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
mower.
• 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 of the 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 it will 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 is filled with lubricant to the proper level
at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs atten-
tion is if 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.
CONTAINER
FIG. 14
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°F. 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 its side 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.

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.
5. Turn on water supply and check for leaks at the fit-
ting.
If no leaks are present, start engine (as described in the
Operation section of this manual) and let engine run until
the underside of the lawn mower is clean.
