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 deterioration. Through
normal use it will wear. If catcher needs
replacing, replace only with approved
replacement catcher shown in the Repair
Parts section of this manual. Give the
mower model number when ordering.
Muffler
Inspect and replace corroded muffler as it
could create a fire hazard and/or damage.
Cleaning
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE,
KEEP MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-
UP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN THE
UNDERSIDE OF YOUR MOWER AFTER
EACH USE.
• 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/wheels free of
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.
Clean Under Drive Cover
Clean under drive cover at least twice a
season. Scrape underside of cover with putty
knife or similar tool to remove any build-up of
trash or grass on underside of drive cover.
