SPARK PLUG

The spark plug should be cleaned (see figure 12)

and the gap reset to a 0.030-inch clearance once a

season (see figure 13). Spark plug replacement is

recommended at the start of each mowing

season; check engine manual for correct plug

type.

Whenever the spark plug is removed

for cleaning, it is advisable to

replace the spark plug gasket with a

new gasket.

OFF SEASON STORAGE

The following steps should be taken to prepare

lawn mower for storage.

1. Clean and lubricate mower thoroughly as

described in the lubrication instructions.

2. Refer to Engine Section for correct engine

storage instructions.

3. Coat mower’s cutting blade with chassis

grease to prevent rusting.

4. Place blocks under deck to raise tires clear of

HANDLE STORAGE

The handle may be placed in an upright position

for storage.

Move the hairpin cotters to the outer hole on weld

pins. See figure 1. Press inward on the bottom of

the lower handle and push forward. The handle

USING YOUR ROTARY

MOWER

For the best results do not cut wet grass because

it tends to stick to the underside of the mower,

thus preventing proper discharge of grass clip

pings. If wet grass must be cut, reduce walking

speed to help distribute the clippings more effec

tively.

New grass should be treated as wet grass, other

wise a normal walking speed is about the right

pace for efficient mowing.

The best mowing pattern is one that allows the

clippings to discharge towards the uncut part of

the lawn. This permits recutting of the clippings

to further pulverize them. When cutting high

weeds, discharge towards cut portion, then recut

at right angles to first direction.

Lawn should be cut in the fall as long as there is

growth.
