LAWN
MOWER
Always observe safety rules when per-
forming any maintenance.
Trailing
TIRES
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect
control chemicals which can harm rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp
objects and other hazards that may
cause tire damage.
DRIVE WHEELS
Check rear drive wheels each time you mow
to be sure they move freely. The wheels not
turning freely means trash, grass cuttings,
etc., may be inside the drive wheel and dust
cover area and must be cleaned out to free
drive wheels. If necessary to clean the drive
wheels, check both rear wheels.

TO SHARPEN
BLADE
NOTE:
We do not recommend
sharpening
the blade - but if you do, be sure the blade
is balanced.
Care should
be taken to keep the blade
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.

repair, or replacement of
the emission control devices and systems,
which are being done at the customers ex-
pense, may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment
or individual.
Warranty repairs must be performed by an
