GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this unit does not cover items that have
been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, operator must maintain unit as
instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to prop­
erly maintain your unit.
Ail adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of
this manual should be checked at least once each season.
• Once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean or
replace air filter, and check blades and belts for wear. A
new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel
mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Check engine oil level.
• Check brake operation.
• Check tire pressure.
• Check for loose fasteners.
LUBRICATION
Keep unit well lubricated (See ’’LUBRICATION CHART”)
LUBRICATION CHART
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the pivot points which have special
nylon bearings. Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt that will
shorten the life of the self-lubricating bearings. If you feel they must be
lubricated, use only a dry, powdered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
