TO SHARPEN
BLADE
NOTE:
We do not recommend
sharp-
ening the blade - but if you do, be sure
the blade is balanced.
An unbalanced
blade will cause eventual
damage
to lawn
mower
or engine.
• The blade can be sharpened
with a file
or on a grinding
wheel.
Do not attempt
to sharpen
while on the mower.
• To check blade balance,
drive a nail into
a beam or wall. Leave
about one inch of
the straight
nail exposed.
Place center
hole of blade over the head of the nail.
If blade is balanced,
it should
remain
in
a horizontal
position.
If either end of the
blade moves
downward,
sharpen
the
heavy end until the blade is balanced.
GRASS
CATCHER
• The grass catcher
may be hosed with
water,
but must be dry when used.
• Check your grass catcher
often for dam-
age or deterioration.
Through
normal
use it will wear.
If catcher
needs
replac-
ing, replace
only with approved
replace-
ment catcher
shown
in the Repair
Parts
section
of this manual.
Give the lawn
mower model
number
when ordering.

NOTE:
Although
multi-viscosity
oils
(5W30,
10W30
etc.) improve
starting
in
cold weather,
these
multi-viscosity
oils will
result in increased
oil consumption
when
used above 32°F.
Check your engine
oil
level more frequently
to avoid possible
engine
damage
from running
low on oil.
Check
the crankcase
oil level before
starting
the engine
and after each five (5)
hours of continuous
use. Tighten
oil plug
securely
