GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
LUBRICATION CHART
The warranty on this lawn mower does not
cover items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence. To receive full
value from the warranty, operator must
maintain mower as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your unit.
All adjustments in the Service and Adjust-
ments section of this manual should be
checked at least once each season.
• Once a year, replace the spark plug, clean
or replace air filter element and check
blade for wear. A new spark plug and
clean/new air filter element assure proper
air-fuel mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
• Follow the maintenance schedule in this
manual.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Check engine oil level.
• Check for loose fasteners.

IMPORTANT:
Do not oil or grease
plastic wheel bearings.
Viscous
lubricants will attract dust and dirt that
will shorten the life of the self-lubricat-
ing bearings.
If you feel they must be
lubricated, use only a dry, powdered
graphite type lubricant sparingly.
