Important: Before tipping the machine to change
the oil or replace the blade, allow the fuel tank to
run dry through normal usage. If you must tip
the machine prior to running out of fuel, use a
hand fuel pump to remove the fuel. Always tip the
machine onto its side with the dipstick down.

• Check the engine oil level.
• Ensure that the engine stops within 3 seconds after releasing the blade-control bar.
• Clean grass clippings and dirt from under the machine.
• Check the air cleaner for dirty, loose, or damaged parts, and clean or replace them
if necessary.
• Change the engine oil.
• Replace the air-cleaner element (more frequently when operating the machine in
dusty or dirty operating conditions).
• Clean the cooling system (refer to your engine owner's manual).
• Replace the spark plug.
• Empty the fuel tank before repairs as directed and before annual storage.
• Replace the blade or have it sharpened (more frequently if the edge dulls quickly).
• Refer to your Engine Operator's Manual for any additional yearly maintenance
procedures.
