IMPORTANTTIPSTO HELPYOUR LAWN MOWER STARTFASTER,RUN AND PERFORMBETTER

1. USE UNLEADED GASOLINE: It burns cleaner and leaves less residue in the engine. Regular gasoline can also beused. DO NOT use PREMIUM GASOLINE.

2. DRAIN OR RUN-OUT ALL GASOLINE FROM TANK AT THE END OF THE SEASON: DO NOT leave gasoline

in your mower when stored for long periods. It will "GUM" your engine. Run engine until the gasoline runs out.

3. START EACH MOWING SEASON WITH FRESH GASOLINE: DO NOT keep gasoline in your can. If your gasoline

can is starting to rust, replace can.

4. CHANGE YOUR SPARK PLUG EVERY SPRING: An old corroded spark plug prevents fast starting and smooth

running engine.

5. REPLACE YOUR AIR CLEANER OR FILTER OFTEN: Dirt, afong with heat can harm your engine, the cleaner or

filter will clog up, preventing clean air from reaching your engine. See "Air Cleaner/Filter" section of this manual

for replacing air cleaner or filter.6. USE SAE 30W OIL: DO NOT use SAE !0W40 oil.

7. CHANGE OIL AS RECOMMENDED: IMPORTANT - change oil after the first two (2) hours of use, then every 25hours of use.

8. REPLACE THE BLADE WHEN NEEDED: You can sharpen the blade, but we do not recommend it. Erosion from

hitting foreign objects can damage the blade. Replace blade with one specifically designed for your mower.

9. AT THE END OF THE SEASON, CLEAN YOUR MOWER: IMPORTANT - first disconnect the spark plug wire_ Ifpossible, store your mower in a well ventilated area and protected from moisture.

]0. FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE SUGGESTIONS IN YOUR OWNERS MANUAL: Read your manual and keep

it in a convenient place for easy reference.

HOWTO USEYOURMOWER(CONT'D)

MOWING TIPS

1. Under certain conditions it may be necessary to raisethe height of cut to keep from overloading the engine

and leaving clumps af grass clippings.2. For extremely heavy cutting, make the width of your

cut I/2 to 3/4 the normal cut. Thiswill reduce the loadon the engine and give you cleaner cutting andbagging.

3. The user should note that when cutting moist, heavygrass with a rear bagging mower, clumps of cut grassmay fail to enter the grass catcher. To pick up theclumps ff they occur, run the mower over the area asecond time.

4. Under certain conditions a trail of grass clippings maybe left at the right side of the mower. Mowing in aclockwise direction with a small overlap will allowthese clippings to be collected on next pass.

MAINTENANCE

Be good to your mower. Once a year put in a new sparkplug, a new air filter and check blade for wear. A newblade cuts better. With a new spark plug your engine willstart and run better. A clean air filter assures proper air-fuel mixture. It will help your engine run better and lastlonger.

GENERAL

DO NOT use gasoline left over from previous season. Oldor stale dirty gasoline can cause starting and runningproblems.Replace your gasoline can, ff your old can starts to rust.DO NOT use rusty gasoline can, rust and/or dirt in yourgasoline can cause problems.

STORAGE

Never store engine with gasoline in tank, indoors or inclosed, poorly ventilated areas where gasoline fumes mayreach an open flame, spark or pilot light as on a furnace,water heater, or clothes dryer, etc.

It is important to prevent gum deposits from forming inessential fuel system parts such as the carburetor, fuelfilter, fuel hose, or tank during storage. Also, experienceindicates that alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or us-ing ethanol or methanol) can attract moisture which leadsto separation and formation of acids during storage.Acidic gas can damage the fuel system of an engine whilein storage.

To avoid engine problems, the fuel system should be emp-tied before storage of 30 days or longer. Follow theseinstructions:If your engine is not to be used for 30 days or moreprepare as follows:Drain gasoline from Fuel tank; gasoline in gasoline tankand carburetor will form deposits and cause problems instarting and running your engine.When preparing your mower for storage it is a good timeto service your mower and engine to be ready for the nextmowing season. Replace such parts as mower blade,spark plug and air filter.

CHANGE OIL: Warm oil drains better.Drain old oil and replace with fresh clean Sears SAE 30Woil.See "To Change Oil'" section under Maintenance.Remove spark plug and put 2 or 3 tablespoons of off intospark plug opening and pull starter rope slowly todistribute oil, installnew spark plug and tighten.DO NOT PUT ANY ADDITIVES IN OASOLINE OR OIL.

CLEANMOWER/ENGINE

CAUTION: Before cleaning mower, disconnect sparkplug wire and ptace wire where it cannot come in contactwith the spark plug.Clean around engine and on top of mower. Scrape under-side of mower using putty knife or similar toot to removeany build-up of trash or grass on underside of mowerhousing.NOTE: We DO NOT recommend using a water hose toclean your mower unless the electrical system, muffler, airfilter and carburetor are covered to keep water out.Water in engine can result in shortening engine life.

CHECKFASTENERS

Check all fasteners and be sure they are tight: tightenand!or replace any loose or worn Fasteners.

GEASSCATCHER

Check your grass catcher often for damage or deteriora-tion. Through normal use it wilt wear. If catcher needsreplacing, replace only with a man ufacturer approvedreplacement catcher from Sears. Give the mower modelwhen ordering.NOTE: The catcher may be hosed with water, but mustbe dry when used.

REPLACEBLADE

See "Blade Care" section under Maintenance. To get thebest cutting results we recommend that you inspect mowerblade for sharpness, wear and damage each year. Ifnecessary, replace with a Sears original equipment blade.Replacement blade is available at most Sears stores andthrough the catalog. Be sure to give your mower modelnumber when ordering blade.We DO NOT recommend sharpening blade - you cankeep the cutting edge touched up with a file.
