Adjust the Cutting Height

Clean After Each Use

After each use, disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Use a soft brush to remove grass clippings and debris from the deck, wheels, and discharge chute. This prevents buildup and corrosion.

Prepare for Off-Season Storage

At the end of the mowing season, run the engine until the fuel tank is empty or add a fuel stabilizer to the remaining fuel. Store the mower in a clean, dry place to protect it from the elements.
