Carburetor
WARNING: If any adjustments are made
to the engine while the engine is running (e.g.
carburetor), keep clear of all moving parts. Be
careful of heated surfaces and muffler.
Minor carburetor adjustments may be required to
compensate for differences in fuel, temperature,
altitude and load. To adjust carburetor, refer to the
separate engine manual packed with your mower.
NOTE: A dirty air cleaner will cause an engine to run
rough. Be certain air cleaner is clean and attached to
the carburetor before adjusting carburetor.

Blade Control
• Lubricate the pivot points on the blade control
handle and the brake cable at least once a season
with light oil. The blade control must operate freely
in both directions.
Rear & Side Discharge Doors
• The torsion springs and pivot points should be
lubricated periodically with light oil to prevent any
rust or binding. Door must work freely.
Wheels
• The wheels require no lubrication. However, if the
wheels are removed for any reason, lubricate the
surface of the axle bolt and the inner surface of the
wheel with light oil. Engine oil may also be used.
Engine
• Follow engine manual for instruction and schedule
of lubrication.
NOTE: When tipping the unit, empty the fuel tank and
keep engine spark plug side up.
Blade Care
• Periodically inspect the blade adapter for cracks,
especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace
when necessary.

blade for sharpening or replacement, protect
hands by using heavy gloves or a rag to grasp
the cutting blade.
