the following periodic maintenance:
Check oil level before starting engine and after
every 5 hours of operation. Be sure oil level is
maintained to FULL mark on dipstick.
MOWER DECK
The underside of the mower deck should be
cleaned after each period of use as grass clip
pings, leaves, dirt and other matter will ac
cumulate. This accumulation of grass clippings,
etc., is undesirable as it will invite rust and corro

clippings at the next mowing.
The deck may be cleaned by washing with a
stream of water from a garden hose.
Be sure to disconnect the spark plug wire and
ground it while performing this maintenance.
