					• 
					Under certain conditions, such as very tall grass, it   
					may be necessary to raise the height of cut to reduce   
					pushing effortand to keep from overloading the engine   
					and leaving clumps of grass clippings. It may also be   
					necessary to reduce ground speed and/or run the   
					lawn mower over the area a second time.   
					PRIMER   
					• 
					• 
					• 
					For extremely heavy cutting, reduce the width of cut   
					by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.   
					FIG. 9   
					ADD GASOLINE (See Fig. 9)   
					For better grass bagging and most cutting conditions,   
					the engine speed should be set in the fast position.   
					• 
					Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler neck. Do not over-   
					fill. Use fresh, clean, regular unleaded gasoline with a   
					minimum of 87 octane. Do not mix oil with gasoline.   
					Purchase fuel in quantities that can be used within 30   
					days to assure fuel freshness.   
					Pores in cloth grass catchers can become filled with   
					dirt and dust with use and catchers will collect less   
					grass. To prevent this, regularly hose catcher off with   
					water and let dry before using.   
					• 
					Keep top of engine around starter clear and clean of   
					grass clippings and chaff. This will help engine air   
					flow and extend engine life.   
					CAUTION: Wipe off any s pilled oil or   
					fuel. Do not s tore, s pill or us e gas oline   
					near an open flame.   
					Alcohol blended fuels (called gas ohol or us ing   
					ethanolor methanol) can attract mois ture which   
					leads to s eparation and formation of acids dur-   
					ing s torage. Acidic gas can damage the fuel   
					s ys tem of an engine while in s torage. To avoid   
					engine problems , the fuel s ys tem s hould be   
					emptied before s torage of 30 days or longer.   
					Empty the gas tank, s tart the engine and let   
					it run until the fuel lines and carburetor are   
					empty. Us e fres h fuelnext s eas on. See Storage   
					Ins tructions for additional information. Never   
					us e engine or carburetor cleaner products in   
					the fuel tank or permanent damage may occur.   
					MULCHING MOWING TIPS   
					IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER   
					HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. SEE   
					“CLEANING” IN MAINTENANCE SECTION OF THIS MANUAL.   
					• 
					The special mulching blade will recut the grass clip-   
					pings many times and reduce them in size so that as   
					they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass   
					and notbe noticed. Also, the mulched grass willbiode-   
					grade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn. Always   
					mulch with your highest engine (blade) speed as this   
					will provide the best recutting action of the blades.   
					• 
					• 
					Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends   
					to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.   
					The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon.   
					At this time the grass has dried, yet the newly cut area   
					will not be exposed to direct sunlight.   
					TO STOP ENGINE   
					• 
					To stop engine, release operator presence control bar.   
					For best results, adjust the lawn mower cutting height   
					so that the lawn mower cuts off only the top one-third   
					of the grass blades (See Fig. 10). If the lawn is over-   
					grown it will be necessary to raise the height of cut to   
					reduce pushing effort and to keep from overloading   
					the engine and leaving clumps of mulched grass. For   
					extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut   
					by overlapping previously cut path and mow slowly.   
					TO START ENGINE   
					NOTE: Due to protective coatings on the engine, a small   
					amount of smoke may be present during the initial use of   
					the product and should be considered normal.   
					1. To start a cold engine, push primer three (3) times   
					before trying to start. Use a firm push. This step is not   
					usually necessary when starting an engine which has   
					already run for a few minutes.   
					2. Hold operatorpresence controlbardown to the handle   
					and turn the start key.   
					MAX 1/3   
					IMPORTANT: DO NOT CRANK ENGINE MORE THAN FIVE   
					CONTINOUS SECONDS BETWEEN EACH TIME YOU TRY TO   
					START. WAIT 5 TO 10 SECONDS BETWEEN EACH ATTEMPT.   
					• 
					To start engine using the rope starter, follow the steps   
					above. Exchange the use of the starter rope for start   
					key. Pull starter handle quickly. Do not allow starter   
					rope to snap back.   
					FIG. 10   
					• 
					• 
					Certain types ofgrass and grass conditions mayrequire   
					that an area be mulched a second time to completely   
					hide the clippings. When doing a second cut, mow   
					across (perpendicular) to the first cut path.   
					NOTE: In cooler weather it may be necessary to repeat   
					priming steps. In warmer weather over priming may cause   
					flooding and engine will not start. If you do flood engine,   
					wait a few minutes before attempting to start and do not   
					repeat priming steps.   
					Change your cutting pattern from week to week. Mow   
					north–south one week, then change to east–west the   
					nextweek. This helps preventmatting/graining oflawn.

					TO SHARPEN BLADE   
					NOTE: We do not recommend sharpening blade - but if   
					you do, be sure the blade is balanced.   
					BLADE CARE   
					Forbestresults, mowerblade mustbe keptsharp. Replace   
					a bent or damaged blade.   
					Care should be taken to keep the blade balanced. An   
					unbalanced blade will cause eventual damage to lawn   
					mower or engine.   
					CAUTION: Us e only a replacement   
					blade approved by the manufacturer of   
					your mower. Using a blade not approved   
					by the manufacturer of your mower is   
					hazardous , could damage your mower   
					and void your warranty.   
					• 
					The blade can be sharpened with a file or on a grinding   
					wheel. Do not attempt to sharpen while on the mower.   
					• 
					To check blade balance, drive a nail into a beam or   
					wall. Leave about one inch of the straight nail exposed.   
					Place center hole of blade over the head of the nail.   
					If blade is balanced, it should remain in a horizontal   
					position. If either end of the blade moves downward,   
					sharpen the heavy end until the blade is balanced.   
					TO REMOVE BLADE (See Fig. 11)   
					1. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place   
					wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.   
					2. Turn lawn mower on its side. Make sure air filter and   
					carburetor are up.   
					GEAR CASE   
					• 
					• 
					• 
					To keep your drive system working properly, the gear   
					case and area around the drive should be kept clean   
					and free of trash build-up. Clean under the drive cover   
					twice a season.   
					3. Use a wood block between blade and mower housing   
					to preventblade from turning when removing blade bolt.   
					NOTE: Protect your hands with gloves and/or wrap blade   
					with heavy cloth.   
					The gear case is filled with lubricant to the proper   
					level at the factory. The only time the lubricant needs   
					attention is if service has been performed on the gear   
					case.   
					4. Remove blade bolt by turning counter-clockwise.   
					5. Remove blade and attaching hardware (bolt, lock   
					washer and hardened washer).   
					If lubricant is required, use only ELF Multis EP00. Do   
					not substitute.   
					NOTE: Remove the blade adapterand checkthe keyinside   
					hub of blade adapter. The key must be in good condition   
					to work properly. Replace adapter if damaged.   
					GRASS CATCHER   
					• 
					The grass catcher may be hosed with water, but must   
					TO REPLACE BLADE (See Fig. 11)   
					be dry when used.   
					1. Position the blade adapter on the engine crankshaft.   
					Be sure key in adapter and crankshaft keyway are   
					aligned.   
					• 
					Check your grass catcher often for damage or dete-   
					rioration. Through normal use it will wear. If catcher   
					needs replacing, replace only with approved replace-   
					ment catcher shown in the Repair Parts section of this   
					manual. Give the mowermodelnumberwhen ordering.   
					2. Position the blade on the blade adapter aligning the   
					two (2) holes in the blade with the raised lugs on the   
					adapter.
