Attach grass catcher to the mower and make sure the catcher does not touch the reel blades. The catcher hooks are slotted so you can easily adjust the catcher so it will clear the reel blades. 3. When proper clearance is assured, tighten the nuts and bolts holding the hooks to the catcher. | FUEL AND OIL NOTE: Engine is shipped WITHOUT oil. Use a high quality detergent oil classified “for service SF, SE, SD or SC”. 30 or 10W-30 wt. oil is recommended for most areas. Do not use 10Wt - 40Wt oil. TO FILL CRANKCASE WITH OIL Place engine level. Clean area around oil fill before removing oil fill plug. OIL FILL PLUG Remove oil fill plug. Fill crankcase to point of overflowing. POUR SLOWLY. Capacity approximately 20 ounces. Replace oil fill plug. A CAUTION A Handle fuel with care — it is highly flammable. Use only approved fuel container. Never add fuel while engine is running. Fill fuel tank outdoors with extreme care. Never fill fuel tank indoors. Replace gasoline cap securely and wipe up all spilled fuel. We recommend the use of clean, fresh lead-free gasoline. Leaded gasoline may be used if lead-free is not available. A minimum of 77 octane is recommended. The use of lead-free gasoline results in fewer combustion deposits and longer valve life. NOTE: We DO NOT recommend the use of gasoline which contains alcohol, such as gasohol. However, if gasoline with alcohol is used, it MUST NOT contain more than 10 percent Ethanol and MUST be removed from the engine during storage. DO NOT use gasoline containing Methanol. See STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Experience indicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or using ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leads to separation and formation of acids during storage. Acidity gas can damage the fuel system of an engine while in storage. To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emptied before storage for 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank, start the engine and let it run until the fuel line and carburetor are empty. Use fresh fuel next season. See Storage Instructions for additional information. Never use engine or carburetor cleaner products in the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur. DO NOT fill fuel tank to point of overflowing. Provide approximately 1/4” of tank space for fuel expansion. OPERATION CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT The cutting height is adjustable from 1/4” x 1-1/2”. The front wheel assembly bar may be moved in 3-holes on the side - panels to adjust the height. (Refer to FIG. 13) The two top cutting height adjustment holes, A & B are used for all height adjustments except for the 1-1/2” height. Hole C is only used for the 1-1/2” adjustment. — hel © o .

Yearly or every 100 hours, whichever occurs first, remove the blower housing and clean the areas to avoid over speeding, overheating and engine damage. Clean more often if necessary. REfer to Engine manual for detailed instructions. CLEAN ENGINE Remove dirt and debris with a cloth or brush. Cleaning with a forceful spray of water is not recommended as water could contaminate the fuel. 9 FIGURE 17 LUBRICATION Check oil level regularly. Oil all exposed bearings, linage and front wheels. Oil chain frequently. Reel and main drive bearings are sealed. REEL MAINTENANCE Normally grinding of the reel is not recommended or necessary to insure proper cutting. This is due to the extreme hardness and great strength of the reel. Sharpening and back lapping when required, should always be done by a property equipped service center. ADJUSTMENTS CAUTION: DO NOT RUN ENGINE AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. Operating an engine at excessive speeds increases the danger of personal injury. 1. DO NOT TAMPER WITH GOVERNOR SPRINGS, GOVERNOR LINKS OR OTHER PARTS WHICH MAY INCREASE THE GOVERNED ENGINE SPEED TO CHECK OPERATION OF CHOKE CONTROLS: Move speed control lever to “choke” position. The carburetor choke should be closed. STOP SWITCH SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS TO ADJUST CHOKE CONTROLS: Refer to engine manual for detailed instructions. REPLACE AIR CLEANER. Clip for throttle cable should secure cable to handle. CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude or load. Air cleaner and air cleaner cover must be assembled to carburetor when running engine. INITIAL ADJUSTMENT: Gently tum needle valve clockwise until it just closes. Valve may be damaged by turning it in too far. (Refer to Fig. 19). Next open needle valve 1-1/2 turns counterclockwise. This initial adjustment will permit the engine to be started and warmed up (approximately 5 minutes) prior to final adjustment. IDLE SPEED THROTTLE ADJUSTING FINAL ADJUSTMENT: Place throttle control in “FAST” position. Tum needle valve in until engine slows (clockwise—ean mixture). Then tum it out past smooth operating point until engine runs unevenly (rich mixture). Now tum needle valve to the midpoint between rich and lean so the engine runs smoothly. Next, adjust ide RPM. Rotate throttle counterclockwise and hold against stop while adjusting idle speed adjusting screw to obtain 1750 RPM. Release throttle. Engine should accelerate without hesitation or sputtering. If it does not, carburetor should be readjusted, usually to a slightly richer mixture. CLUTCH BELT MAINTENANCE: 1. Inspect clutch belt frequently for wear and damage. Wom and damaged belts can cause the clutch to operate improperly, such as continuous movement of the reel and roller drive when all levers are disengaged. Replace the belt when excessive wear or damage occurs. CLUTCH BELT REPLACEMENT: 1. Remove cotter pin from lower clutch control rod (Part 1012D) and slide control rod from clutch bearing (Part 1046D). 2.

ENGINE: Engines to be stored over 30 days should be completely drained of fuel to prevent gum deposits forming on essential carburetor parts, fuel filter and tank. NOTE: The use of a fuel additive, such as STA-BIL®, or an equivalent, will minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits during storage. Such an additive may be added to the gasoline in the fuel tank of the engine, or to the gasoline in a storage container. a. All fuel should be removed from the tank. Run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. b. While engine is still warm, drain oil from crankcase. Refill with fresh oil. | c. Remove spark plug, pour approximately 1/2 ounce (15 cc) of engine oil into cylinder and crank slowly to distribute oil. Replace spark plug. d. Clean dirt and chaff from cylinder, cylinder head fins, blower housing, rotating screen and muffler areas. e. Store in a clean and dry area. IMPORTANT: IT IS IMPORTANT TO PREVENT GUM DEPOSITS FROM FORMING IN ESSENTIAL FUEL SYSTEM PARTS SUCH AS THE CARBURETOR, FUEL FILTER, FUEL HOSE, OR TANK DURING STORAGE. ALSO, EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT ALCOHOL BLENDED FUELS (CALLED GASOHOL OR USING ETHANOL OR METHANOL) CAN ATTRACT MOISTURE WHICH LEADS TO SEPARATION AND FORMATION OF ACIDS DURING STORAGE. ACIDIC GAS CAN DAMAGE THE FUEL SYSTEM OF AN ENGINE WHILE IN STORAGE. OTHER: Do not store gasoline from one season to another. * Replace your gasoline can if your can starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your gasoline can cause problems. * Do not store your mower under any plastic cover. Plastic cannot breathe which allows condensation to form and can cause your mower to rust.
