GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
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
Adjustments
section
of this manual
should
be checked
at least once each
season.
• Once a year, replace
the spark plug,
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.
