Resumen del manual
Remove cap and dipstick. Fill to “FULL” mark on dipstick. Do not overfill. Pour slowly. Capacity VA pints. 2. FILL FUEL TANK—Use clean, fresh, lead-free or leaded “regular” grade automotive gasoline. Fill tank completely! DO NOT MIX OIL WITH GASOLINE. 3. When ready to start engine, place throttle control lever on handle in “START” position and start engine in accordance with instructions in engine manual. After engine starts, move throttle control lever on handle to desired engine speed. The engine is stopped by placing control lever on handle in the “STOP” position. 6 Be sure that lawn is clear of stones, sticks, wire, or other objects which could damage lawn mower or engine. For best results and to insure more even grass distribution, do not mow when lawn is excessively wet. IMPORTANT After striking a foreign object, stop the engine. Remove wire from spark plug, thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage, and repair the damage before restarting and operating the mower. ADJUSTMENTS ^^CAUTION Do not at any time make any adjustment to lawn mower without first stopping engine and disconnecting spark plug wire. EASY CUTTING HEIGHT Thumb lever at each wheel position provides cutting height adjustment. Height of cut will be changed when the thumb lever is moved from one hole to another. Simply depress thumb lever towards wheel and move wheel and lever assembly to desired position. All wheels must be placed in the same relative position. HANDLE POSITION The upper handle can be adjusted to a high or low position. The operator of the lawn mower can easily adjust the handle position by unscrewing the two knobs, removing the two bolts and reassembling in the other position. No tools are necessary to make this adjustment. See figure 9. THROTTLE If adjustment becomes necessary, the throttle control wire assembly can be reset as follows: 1. Loosen, but do not remove, screw securing throttle control wire assembly at engine. See figure 10. 2. Move throttle control lever on handle to “FAST” position. 3. Move lever, to which control wire is fastened at engine, to full open position and retighten screw to secure throttle control wire assembly. FIGURE 10. FIGURE 9. If any adjustments are made to the engine while the engine is running (e.g. carburetor), disengage all clutches and blades. Keep clear of all moving parts and be careful of heated surfaces and muffler. CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS (See figure 11.) Minor carburetor adjustment may be required to compensate for differences in fuel, temperature, altitude and load. 7 All carburetor adjustments should be made with the air cleaner on engine. Air cleaner mounting screw must be in carburetor when engine is run. Best adjustment is made with a fuel tank half full of gasoline. To Adjust Carburetor: 1. Start engine and run long enough to warm it to operating temperature. If engine is out of adjustment so that it will not start, close the needle valve by turning it clockwise. Then open needle valve 11/2 turns counterclockwise. 2. Move engine control to run engine at normal operating speed. a. Turn needle valve in clockwise until engine starts to lose speed (lean mixture). b. Then slowly turn needle valve out counterclockwise past the point of smoothest operation until engine just begins to run unevenly (rich mixture). c. Turn needle valve back in clockwise very slowly till engine runs evenly. d. Final adjustment of the needle valve should be slightly to the rich side (turn counterclockwise) of the mid-point. 3. Move engine control to “SLOW.” Turn idle adjusting screw until a fast idle is obtained—(1750 R.P.M.). 4. To check adjustment, move engine control from “SLOW” to “FAST” speed. Engine should accelerate smoothly. If engine tends to stall or die out, increase idle speed or readjust carburetor, usually to a slightly richer mixture. FIGURE 11. LUBRICATION H^|MP0RTANT Always stop engine and disconnect spark plug wire before cleaning, lubricating or doing any kind of work on lawn mower. Wheels—The mower is provided with ball bearing wheels. Lubricate at least once a season with light oil. Protective Shield—The pivot points on the protective shield should be lubricated periodically with light oil to prevent any rust or binding. Chute Deflector—The torsion spring and pivot point should be lubricated periodically with light oil to prevent any rust or binding. Deflector must work freely. Engine—Follow engine manual for lubrication instructions. Throttle—Periodically lubricate throttle control lever and throttle wire assembly with a few drops of light oil (SAE No. 10 or 20) for ease of operation. MAINTENANCE CUTTING BLADE The blade may easily be removed for grinding or replacement as follows: 1. Remove bolt and lock washer holding blade and blade adapter to engine crankshaft. 2. Remove blade and blade adapter from engine crankshaft. 3. Remove two bolts, lock washers and nuts holding blade to blade adapter (if necessary). When sharpening b...
