Before performing any maintenance, stop the mower,
allow the blade to come to a complete stop, and
disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug.
Failure to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING
When servicing, use only authorised replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

■ Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types
of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their
use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease,
etc.
■ Periodically check all nuts and bolts for proper tightness
to ensure safe operation of the mower.
■ Remove any buildup of grass and leaves on or around
the engine and engine cover. Wipe the mower clean
with a dry cloth occasionally.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fl uids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with
a suffi cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no
further bearing lubrication is required.
WARNING
Always protect hands by wearing heavy gloves and/or
wrapping the cutting edges of the blade with rags and
other material when performing blade maintenance.
Contact with the blade could result in serious personal
injury.
REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADE
See fi gure 6.
For best results, the mower blade must be kept sharp.
Replace a bent or damaged blade immediately.
WARNING
Only use replacement blades approved by the
manufacturer of your mower. Using a blade not
approved by the manufacturer of your mower is
hazardous and could result in serious injury, damage
your mower, and void your warranty.

the blade.
1. Stop the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire.
Allow blade to come to a complete stop.
2. Turn the mower on its side (carburetor facing up).

the blade bolt by turning the bolt in a counterclockwise
