ASSEMBLY
14F 050758L
IMPORTANT! BEFORE YOU START MOWING
Check the engine oil.
Fill the fuel tank with gasoline.
Check the level of the mower housing.
Check the air pressure of the tires.
Make sure the battery cables are attached.
WARNING: Before doing any assembly or mainte-
nance to the mower, remove the wire from the spark
plug.
NOTE: In this instruction book, left and right describe the loca-
tion of a part with the operator on the seat.
HOW TO PREPARE THE ENGINE
NOTE: The engine was shipped from the factory filled with oil.
Check the level of the oil. Add oil as needed.
See the engine manufacturer s instructions for the type of gasoline
and oil to use. Before you use the unit, read the information on
safety, operation, maintenance, and storage.
WARNING: Follow the engine manufacturer s
instructions for the type of gasoline and oil to use.
Always use a safety gasoline container. Do not
smoke when adding gasoline to the engine. When
inside an enclosure, do not fill with gasoline. Before
you add gasoline, stop the engine. Let the engine
cool for several minutes.
NOTE: Actual sustained horsepower will likely be lower due to
operating limitations and environmental factors.
IMPORTANT: This unit is equipped with an internal combustion
engine and must not be used on or near any unimproved
forest covered, brush covered or grass covered land unless
the engine s exhaust system is equipped with a spark arrester
meeting applicable local or state laws (if any). If a spark
arrester is used, it must be maintained in effective working
order by the operator.
In the State of California the above is required by law (Section
4442 of the California Public Resources Code). Other states
may have similar laws. Federal laws apply on federal lands.
See an Authorized Service Center for a spark arrester for the
muffler.
In some areas, local law requires the use of a resistor spark
plug to control the ignition signals. See an Authorized Service
Center for a resistor spark plug for the engine.
CHECK THE LEVEL OF THE MOWER HOUSING
Make sure the level of cut is still correct. After you mow a short
distance, look at the area that was cut. If the mower housing does
not cut level, see the instructions on !How To Level The Mower
Housing" in the Maintenance section of this instruction book.
CHECK THE TIRES
Check the air pressure in the tires. Tires with too much air pressure
will cause the unit to ride rough. Also, the wrong air pressure will
keep the mower housing from cutting level. The correct air pressure
(PSI) is 14 PSI (1 BAR). The tires were over inflated for shipment.
