2. Hold operator presence control bar down to the handle and pull starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter rope to snap back. NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary to repeat priming steps. In warmer weather over priming may cause flooding and engine will not start. If you do flood engine, wait a few minutes before attempting to start and do not repeat priming steps. 9 MOWING TIPS CAUTION: Do not use de-thatcher blade attachments on your mower. Such attachments are hazardous, will damage your mower and could void your warranty. • Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the lawn mower over the area a second time. • For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly. • For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions, the engine speed should be set in the FAST position. • For side discharge lawn mowers, cutting in a counter-clockwise direction, starting at the outside of the area to be cut, spreads grass clippings more evenly and puts less load on the engine. To keep clippings off of walkways, flower beds, etc., make the first cuts in a clockwise direction. • Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with dirt and dust with use and catchers will collect less grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with water and let dry before using. • Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of grass clippings and chaff. This will help engine air flow and extend engine life. MULCHING MOWING TiPS IMPORTANT: For best performance, keep mower housing free of built-up grass and trash. See "CLEANING" in the Maintenance section of this manual. • The special mulching blade will recut the grass clippings many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed as this will provide the best recutting action of the blades. • Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action. The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At this time the grass has dried, yet the newly cut area will not be exposed to direct sunlight. • For best results, adjust the lawn mower cutting height so that the lawn mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass blades. If the lawn is overgrown it will be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading the engine and leaving clumps of mulched grass. For extremely heavy grass, reduce your width of cut by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly. MAX 1/3 • Certain types of grass and grass conditions may require that an area be mulched a second time to completely hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow across (perpendicular) to the first cut path. • Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow north to south one week then change to east to west the next week. This will help prevent matting and graining of the lawn. 10 MAINTENANCE BEFORE AFTER EVERY EVERY EVERY EAC HEAC H 10 25 HOURS 100 BEFORE STO RAG E SCHEDULE USE OR SEASON USE HOURS HOURS t/ Check for Loose Fasteners t_ t/ ,_ Clean / Inspect Grass Catcher * I/ Check Tires _1_ _ Check Drive Wheels *** Clean Lawn Mower**** i/ I/ M Clean under Drive Cover *** i/ O Check Drive Belt / Pulleys *** i/ W Check / Sharpen / Replace Blade i/3 _ ubrication i/ Clean and Recharge Battery ** i/ 14 Check Engine Oil level 14 E Change Engine Oil 1_,2 N Clean Air Filter 14 _ Inspect Muffler I/ N Replace Spark Plug I/ I1= Replace Air Filter Paper Cartridge 14 Empty fuel system or add Stabilizer I/ * (if so equipped) 1 -Change more often if operating under a heavy load or in high outdoor temperatures. ** Electric-Start mowers 2 -Service more often if operating in dirty or dusty conditions. 3 -Replace blades more often when mowing in sandy soil. *** Power-Propelled mowers 4 -Charge 48 hours at end of season. to clean under deck 5 -And after each 5 hours of use. **** Use a scraper GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS LUBRICATION CHART The warranty on this lawn mower does not cover items that have been subjected to (_ Wheel operator abuse or negligence.
