7-8 DECK

The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after

each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves,

dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate,

it will invite rust and corrosion, and may prevent proper

mulching. The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower

and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the

spark plug wire is disconnected).

7-9 HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Do not at any time make any

adjustment to lawn mower without first stopping the

engine and disconnecting the spark plug wire.

CAUTION: Before changing mowing height, stop

mower and disconnect spark plug cable.

Your mower is equipped with a central height

adjustment lever offering 8 height positions.

The height (the blade to the ground) can be adjusted from

25 mm to 70 mm (8 height positions). (Fig. 34)

The lowest adjustment: 25 mm (position 1), the highest

adjustment: 70 mm (position 8).

1. Stop mower and disconnect spark plug cable before

changing mower cutting height.

2. The central height adjustment lever offers you 8

different height positions. (Fig. 34)

To change the height of cut, squeeze adjustment lever

toward the wheel, moving up or down to selected height.

8. MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

SPARK PLUG

Use only original replacement spark plug. For best results,

replace the spark plug every 100 hours of use.

BRAKE PADS

agent regularly, only original parts can be used as

replacement.

9. LUBRICATION INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: DISCONNECT SPARK PLUG

BEFORE SERVICING.

1. WHEELS-Lubricate the ball bearings in each wheel at

least once a season with a light oil.

2. ENGINE-Follow engine manual for lubrication

instructions.

10. CLEANING

CAUTION: Do not hose engine. Water can

damage engine or contaminate the fuel system.

1. Wipe deck with dry cloth.

2. Hose under deck by tilting the mower so that the spark

plug is up.

10-1 ENGINE AIR CLEANER

CAUTION: Do not allow dirt or dust to clog the air

filter foam element. The engine air cleaner element must

be serviced (cleaned) after 25 hours normal mowing. The

foam element must be serviced regularly if the mower is

used in dry dusty conditions.

TO CLEAN AIR FILTER

1. Remove the screw. (Fig. 35 for PLM4632N and

PLM5130N)

2. Lift the tab on the filter cover. (Fig. 36 for PLM4630N2

and PLM4631N2)

3. Remove the filter cover.

4. Wash filter element in soap water. DO NOT USE

GASOLINE!

5. Air dry filter element.

6. Place a few drops of SAE30 oil on the foam filter and

squeeze tightly to remove any excess oil.

7. Reinstall filter.

8. Close the filter cover.

NOTE: Replace filter if frayed, torn, damaged or

unable to be cleaned.

10-2 CUTTING BLADE

CAUTION: Be sure to disconnect and ground the

spark plug wire before working on the cutting blade to

prevent accidental engine starting. Protect hands by using

heavy gloves or a rag to grasp the cutting blades. Tip

mower as specified in separate engine manual. Remove

the hex bolt and washer which hold the blade and blade

adapter to the engine crankshaft. Remove the blade and

adapter from the crankshaft.

WARNING: Periodically inspect the blade

adapter for cracks, especially if you strike a foreign object.

Replace when necessary.

For best results your blade should be sharp. The blade

may be resharpened by removing it and either grinding or

filing the cutting edge keeping as close to the original

bevel as possible. It is extremely important that each

cutting edge receives an equal amount of grinding to

prevent an unbalanced blade. Improper blade balance will

result in excessive vibration causing eventual damage to

the engine and mower. Be sure to carefully balance blade

after sharpening. The blade can be tested for balance by

balancing it on a round shaft screwdriver. Remove metal

from the heavy side until it balances evenly. (Fig. 37)

Before reassembling the blade and the blade adapter to

the unit, lubricate the engine crankshaft and the inner

surface of the blade adapter with light oil. Install the blade

adapter on the crankshaft. Refer to Fig. 37. Place the

blade with the part number facing away from the adapter.

Align the washer over the blade and insert the hex bolt.

Tighten the hex bolt to the torque listed below.
