Blade Care

Periodically inspect the blade adapter for cracks,

especially if you strike a foreign object. Replace when

necessary.

WARNING: When Inspecting the cutting

blade, protect hands by using heavy

gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting

blade.

Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug.

Turn mower on its side making sure that the air

filter and the carburetor are up to check the

blade. If the blade needs to be serviced, refer

to the instructions on blade care in the “Service

& Adjustments" section of this manual.

Lubrication

Wheels

• Lubricate the wheels at least once a season

with light oil or engine oil. Also, if the wheels are

removed for any reason, lubricate frie surface

of the axle bolt and the inner surface of the

wheel with light oil.

Blade Control Handle

• Lubricate the pivot points on the blade control

handle and the brake cable at least once a

season with light oil. The blade control handle

must operate freely in both directions. For

complete lubrication chart, see Figure 15.

Chute Deflector

• Lubricate the torsion spring and the pivot point

on each end of the chute deflector using a light

oil. This will prevent rusting and ensure that the

deflector, which is a safety device, can always

work properly.

NOTE: For sake of clarity, illustrations in the insets represent view from another perspective rather than from the operating position.
