Slide the end of the fuel line onto the fuel tank fitting (Figure 6). 5. Secure the fuel line to the fuel tank with the hose clamp (Figure 6).
3. Push the plug all the way in until the spring clip on the bottom of the plug clicks into place, locking the plug securely into the discharge tunnel (Figure 8). Figure 7 1. Discharge door handle Figure 8 2. Plug, rotated clockwise 1. Spring clip 2. Since the plug is slightly wider than the discharge tunnel opening, rotate the plug clockwise slightly while inserting it (Figure 7). 4. Release the discharge door handle to lock the top of the plug.
Product Overview Note: When the crankcase is empty, pour about 3/4 of the crankcase capacity of oil in the crankcase, then follow the procedure in this section. 1. Move the mower to a level surface. 2. Clean around the dipstick (Figure 9). 3. Remove the dipstick by rotating the cap counterclockwise and pulling it out. 4. Wipe the dipstick clean with a clean cloth. 5. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck (but do not rotate the cap clockwise to secure it), then remove it. 6.
Filling the Fuel Tank with Gasoline Operation Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. For best results, use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. To ensure freshness, purchase only the quantity of gasoline that you expect to use in 30 days. Using unleaded gasoline results in fewer combustion deposits and longer engine life. You may use leaded gasoline if unleaded gasoline is not available.
DANGER When fueling, under certain circumstances, a static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline. A fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and others and damage property. • Always place gasoline containers on the ground and away from your vehicle before filling. • Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or on a truck or trailer bed because interior carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate the container and slow the loss of any static charge.
Note: Do not shift speeds while squeezing the blade control bar against the handle in the Run/Drive position; this can damage the transmission. Move the blade control bar to the Run/Shift position when you change the ground speed. 5. Pull the starter handle lightly until you feel resistance, then pull it sharply. Allow the rope to return to the handle slowly. 6. When the engine starts, move the throttle control to the Fast position, and set the ground speed control as desired.
3. Slide the hole in the bag frame onto the retaining post on the discharge tunnel (Figure 19). DANGER Adjusting the cutting height levers could bring your hands into contact with a moving blade and result in serious injury. • Stop the engine and wait for all movement to stop before adjusting the cutting height. • Do not put your fingers under the housing when adjusting the cutting height. 4. Set the rear of the bag frame onto the bag support rod. 5.
• Clean under the mower housing after each mowing. See Cleaning under the Mower Housing. DANGER If the discharge door does not close completely, the mower could throw objects, causing serious personal injury or death. • Keep the engine in good running condition. • Set the engine speed to the fastest position for the best cutting results.
front wheels at 2-1/4 inches (57 mm) and the rear wheels at 2-3/4 inches (70 mm). Cutting Leaves • After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need to make more than one pass over the leaves. • For light leaf coverage, set all the wheels at the same cutting height setting. • If there are more than 5 inches (12.7 cm) of leaves on the lawn, set the front cutting height 1 or 2 notches higher than the rear cutting height.
Maintenance Note: Determine the left and right sides of the machine from the normal operating position. Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 5 hours • Change the engine oil. Before each use or daily • • • • • • Check the engine oil level. Inspect the air cleaner elements. Inspect the mower blades for wear or damage. Remove grass clippings and dirt from under the housing. Clean the discharge tunnel and the discharge tunnel plug.
Lubrication Engine Maintenance Lubricating the Pivot Arms Servicing the Air Cleaner Service Interval: Every 25 hours—Lubricate the pivot arms. 1. Move the rear wheel cutting height levers to the center setting. 2. Wipe the grease fittings with a clean rag (Figure 21). Service Interval: Before each use or daily Every 25 hours—Clean the air filter elements. Clean them more frequently in dusty operating conditions. Every 250 hours—Replace the air cleaner elements.
8. If the paper element is excessively dirty, replace it. 8. After draining the oil, return the mower to its operating position. 9. Fill the crankcase to the upper limit mark on the dipstick with fresh oil. Refer to the Filling the Crankcase with Oil. 10. Insert the dipstick into the filler neck and rotate the cap clockwise until it is tight. 11. Wipe up any spilled oil. 12. Recycle the used oil according to local codes.
Drive System Maintenance Important: A loose spark plug can become very hot and can damage the engine; overtightening a spark plug may damage the threads in the cylinder head. 8. Connect the wire to the spark plug. Adjusting the Self-propel Drive Service Interval: Every 100 hours If the mower does not self-propel or has a tendency to creep forward when the blade control bar is more than 1-1/2 inches (3.8 cm) from the handle, adjust the wheel drive control knob on the rear of the gear box (Figure 25).
Controls System Maintenance Blade Maintenance Adjusting the Blade Brake Cable Always mow with a sharp blade. A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass blades. 1. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug. 3. Drain the gasoline from the fuel tank. 4. Tip the mower onto its left side (air cleaner up) (Figure 28). Maintaining the Blade Service Interval: Every 100 hours—Adjust the blade brake cable.
Note: For the best performance, install a new blade before the cutting season begins. During the year, file down any small nicks to maintain the cutting edge. Note: You can also check the balance using a commercially manufactured blade balancer. 2. If either end of the blade rotates downward, file that end (not the cutting edge or the end near the cutting edge). The blade is properly balanced when neither end drops.
Cleaning 4. Stop the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 5. Turn off the water. Cleaning under the Mower Housing 6. Start the mower and let it run for a few minutes to dry out the mower and its components. To ensure the best performance, keep the underside of the mower housing clean. Be especially careful to keep the kickers free of debris (Figure 32). Scraping Method If washing does not remove all debris from under the mower, scrape it clean. 1. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug. 2.
Storage WARNING Grass clippings and other objects can be thrown from an open discharge tunnel and cause serious injury or kill the operator or bystanders. To prepare the mower for off-season storage, perform the recommended maintenance procedures. Refer to Maintenance. Never start or operate the mower unless one of the following is true: Store the mower in a cool, clean, dry place. Cover the mower to keep it clean and protected. • The discharge tunnel plug is locked securely in the discharge tunnel.
4. Check the condition of the blade. Refer to Maintaining the Blade. 5. Service the air filter; refer to Servicing the Air Filter. 6. Lubricate the pivot arms; refer to Lubricating the Pivot Arms. 7. Tighten all nuts, bolts, and screws. 8. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint surfaces with paint available from an Authorized Service Dealer. Removing the mower from Storage 1. Check and tighten all fasteners. 2.
