CLEANING
IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER
HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN
THE UNDERSIDE OF YOUR MOWER AFTER EACH USE.

from spark plug and place wire where it
cannot come in contact with plug.
•
Clean the underside of your lawn mower by scraping
to remove build-up of grass and trash.
•
Clean engine often to keep trash from accumulating. A
clogged engine runs hotter and shortens engine life.
•
Keep fi nished surfaces / wheels free of gasoline, oil, etc.
•
With the exception of the water washout port (if
equipped), we do not recommend using a garden
hose to clean the outside of your lawn mower unless
the elec tri cal system, muffl er, air fi lter and carburetor
are covered to keep water out. Water in engine can
result in shortened engine life.

Your lawn mower is equipped with a fi tting that allows quick
and easy cleaning of the underside of the housing. To use
this feature, proceed as follows:

hard surface.
NOTE: Water, grass and other debris will drain from beneath
the mower housing during the washout process.
2. Remove grass catcher and discharge chute assembly
from lawn mower.

4. Connect a garden hose to the fi tting where shown.
IMPORTANT: BE SURE THE GARDEN HOSE IS NOT ROUTED
UNDER THE LAWN MOWER HOUSING OR ENTANGLED IN
THE WHEELS.
5. Turn on water supply and check for leaks at the fi t-
ting.
If no leaks are present, start engine (as described in the
