Clean the underside of your lawn mower by

scraping to remove build-up of grass and trash.

Clean your' lawn mower and engine often to keep

trash from accumulating around engine. A clogg-

ed engine runs hotter and shortens engine life.

water out. Water in engine can result in shortening

engine life.
