To start the mower, ensure the fuel valve is open, the throttle is set to 'fast', and the blade control bar is held against the handle. Pull the starter handle smoothly.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil before each use, changing the oil annually, cleaning the air filter every 25 hours, and sharpening the blade at least once a year.
Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, examine the air filter for clogs, and make sure the blade control bar is engaged.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for colder conditions.
Disconnect the spark plug, tip the mower on its side with the air filter up, and use a hose to wash away grass clippings, being careful not to get water into the engine.
Check if the blade is damaged or unbalanced, and inspect for loose engine bolts or debris lodged in the deck.
Adjust the cutting height by moving the height adjuster lever on each wheel to the desired position. All levers should be set to the same height for an even cut.
Run the mower until it is out of fuel, change the oil, remove and clean the spark plug, and store the mower in a dry, sheltered area.
Disconnect the spark plug, tip the mower on its side, and use a wrench to remove the blade bolt. Replace with a new blade, ensuring it's securely fastened.
Ensure the mulching plug is correctly installed, the blade is sharp, and the deck is clean of debris. Additionally, avoid mowing wet grass.
