CLEANING
IMPORTANT: For best performance,
keep mower housing free of built-grass

mower after each use.
_CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire

Clean the underside of your lawn mower
by scraping to remove build-up of grass

accumulating. A clogged engine runs
hotter and shortens engine life.

electrical system, muffler, air filter and
carburetorare covered to keep water

ened engine life.
