5.
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush.
Keep the cooling system (blower housing area) clean
to permit proper air circulation which is essential to
engine performance and life. Be certain to remove all
grass, dirt and combustible debris from muffler area.
Maintenance
Deck
Lubricate these
points before
reassembly.
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after
each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves,
dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate,
it will invite rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper
mulching.
The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scrap-
ing clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug
wire is disconnected).
WARNING
Figure 11
Replacing Rear Flap
Always stop engine,
disconnect spark
plug, and ground
against engine before
cleaning, lubricating
or doing any kind of
maintenance on your
machine.
If unit is tipped for
easier access to
blade or belt, tip
mower as specified
in separate engine
manual. If it does not
specify turn mower
on its side making
sure that the air filter
and the carburetor
are up.
The rear flap is attached to the back of the mower deck. If
the rear flap becomes damaged, replace it by cutting off
the flat end of the wire rod which secures it to the deck
using a pair of side-cutters. Attach the new rear flap using
the new rod provided with the rear flap, bending the ends
of the rod over to secure.
Lubrication
1.
Lubricate the pivot points on the blade control handle
at least once a season with light oil. The blade
control must operate freely in both directions. See
Figure 11.
2. If your mower is equipped with ball bearing wheels,
lubricate at least once a season with a light oil, all
other types require no lubrication. However, if the
wheels are removed for any reason, lubricate the
surface of the axle bolt and the inner surface of the
wheel with light automotive oil.
Six speed shift cable adjustment
Periodic adjustment of the six speed shift cable may
be required due to normal stretch and wear on the
cable. Adjustment is needed if all six speeds cannot be
obtained.

engine manual packed with your unit. Read and
follow instructions carefully.

flooding usually indicates that the air cleaner should
be serviced.
