Cleanthe undersideof your mower aftereach use. ,_I,CAUTION: Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug. • Clean the underside of your mower by scraping to remove build-up of grass/trash. • Clean engine often to keep trash from accumulating.

Water in engine can result in shortened engine life. AWARNING: To avoid serious injury, before performing any service or adjustments: 1. Release control bar and stop engine. 2. Make sure the blade and all moving parts have completely stopped. 3. Disconnect spark plug wire from spark plug and place wire where it cannot come in contact with plug.
