Checking the Engine-Oil Level Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Check the engine-oil level. Important: If the oil level in the crankcase is too low or too high and you run the engine, you may damage the engine.
Adjusting the Cutting Height DANGER Adjusting the cutting-height levers could bring your hands into contact with a moving blade and result in serious injury. • Shut off 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. g234297 Figure 11 During Operation and wait for all moving parts to stop before leaving the operating position.
• Check the grass catcher components and • Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if • • • • • the discharge chute frequently for any wear or deterioration and replace them with the manufacturer's recommended parts when necessary. you slip and contact the blade. Avoid mowing in wet conditions. Use extreme care when approaching blind corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects that may block your view.

Operating the Self-Propel Drive the RUN/SHIFT position (Figure 14) whenever you change the ground speed. This machine has 3 ground speeds: 1 (slow), 2 (medium), and 3 (fast); it also has a Neutral (N) position. The self-propel-drive lever is located below and behind the fuel tank (Figure 13). increasing or decreasing the distance between the blade-control bar and the handle. Lower the bar to decrease the ground speed when you are making a turn or if the machine is moving too fast for you.
Recycling the Clippings This machine comes from the factory ready to recycle grass and leaf clippings back into the lawn. To prepare the machine to recycle: • If the grass bag is on the machine, remove it (A of Figure 15). • If the rear-discharge plug is not installed, grip it by the handle, raise the rear deflector, and insert it into the rear-discharge chute until the latch locks into place (B of Figure 15).
g236745 Figure 16 Removing the Grass Bag DANGER The machine can throw grass clippings and other objects through an opening in the machine housing. Objects thrown with enough force could cause serious personal injury or death to you or to bystanders. • Never remove the grass bag and then start the engine without the discharge plug installed on the machine. • Never open the rear deflector on the machine when the engine is running. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Cut the grass more frequently. WARNING Wet grass or leaves can cause serious injury if you slip and contact the blade. • Overlap cutting swaths instead of cutting a full Mow only in dry conditions. Cutting Leaves swath with each pass. • After cutting the lawn, ensure that half of the lawn • Clean under the machine after each mowing; refer shows through the cut leaf cover. You may need to make more than a single pass over the leaves. to Cleaning under the Machine (page 19).
5. Turn off the water. 6. Start the machine and let it run for a few minutes to dry out the underside of the machine. Scraping Method If washing does not remove all debris from under the machine, scrape it clean. 1. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug. 2. Drain the fuel from the fuel tank. WARNING g024254 Figure 17 Tipping the machine may cause the fuel to leak from the carburetor or the fuel tank.
Maintenance Recommended Maintenance Schedule(s) Maintenance Service Interval Maintenance Procedure After the first 8 hours • Change the engine oil. After the first 25 hours • Tighten any loose fasteners. Before each use or daily • • • • • • Check the engine-oil level. Remove grass clippings and dirt from under the machine. Inspect the air-filter elements. Inspect the mower blades for wear or damage. Inspect the accelerator for wear or damage. Check the stopping time of the blade brake.
Servicing the Air Filter Service Interval: Before each use or daily—Inspect the air-filter elements. 7. Inspect the foam and paper elements, and replace them if they are damaged or excessively dirty. 8. If the paper element is excessively dirty, replace it. Every 50 hours—Clean the air-filter elements. Clean them more frequently in dusty operating conditions. Note: Never try to brush dirt off the paper element; brushing forces the dirt into the fibers. Every 200 hours—Replace the air-filter elements.
7. Tip the machine onto its right side (air filter up) to drain the oil into the drain pan. 8. After draining the oil, return the machine to the operating position. 9.

Note: You can skip this step if you are adjusting a used belt. Maintaining the Blade g002278 Always mow with a sharp blade. A sharp blade cuts cleanly and without tearing or shredding the grass blades. 1. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug. 3.
Balancing the Blade WARNING 1. A worn or damaged accelerator can break, and a piece of the accelerator could be toward you or bystanders, resulting in serious personal injury or death. Check the balance of the blade by placing the center hole of the blade over a nail or screwdriver shank clamped horizontally in a vise (Figure 26). • Inspect the accelerator periodically for wear or damage. • Replace a worn or damaged accelerator. Removing the Blade g002280 Figure 26 1.
Adjusting the Blade-Brake Cable If the blade-brake cable needs to be replaced or is not adjusted properly, adjust the blade-brake cable. 1. Shut off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop. 2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug. 3. Hold the blade-control bar at 19 cm (7-5/8 inches) from the top of the handle as shown inFigure 27. g024255 Figure 28 1. Belt cover g033871 Figure 27 1. Handle bar 2. Cable-anchor nut 3.
