Mower Maintenance

Emissions Control
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emissions control
devices and systems may be performed by any non-road
engine repair establishment or individual. However, to obtain
"no charge" emissions control service, the work must be
performed by a factory authorized dealer. See the Emissions
Warranty.
WARNING: Before you make an inspection,
adjustment (except carburetor), or repair, stop
the engine and disconnect the wire from the
spark plug.
Engine Tipping
When you service the engine, inspect the blade, or clean the
underside of the mower housing; make sure to always tip the
engine with the spark plug up (Figure 18). Transporting or
tipping the engine with the spark plug down will cause:
• Hard starting.
• Engine smoking.
• Spark plug fouling.
• Oil or gas saturation of the air filter.

1. Start the mower.
2. Release the engine stop lever. The engine must stop
within 3 seconds.
If the engine does not stop within 3 seconds, do not use the
mower. Bring the mower to an authorized dealer for service.
Cleaning the Mower Housing
WARNING: The blade will rotate when the
engine runs. Before you clean the mower
housing, stop the engine and disconnect the
wire from the spark plug.
Grass and other debris can keep the mower from working
correctly. After you mow, clean the mower housing as
follows.
1. Stop the engine.
2. Disconnect the wire from the spark plug.
3. Clean dirt and debris from the top and the bottom of the
mower housing.

Lubrication

For maximum performance, lubricate the wheels and all pivot
points with engine oil every 25 hours.
Note: Do not lubricate the engine stop cable. Lubricants will
damage the cable and prevent the cable from moving freely.
Replace the cable if bent or damaged.
