Clean the engine
Air cooled engines cool better when they are clean.
Check for signs of animal or insect infestation, especially
after off-season storage. Clean or replace any infested
parts as needed.
Lubricate the pedal shaft
NOTE: The deck does not need to be removed to
perform this procedure.
1. Remove the screw that secures the pedal shaft sup-
port strap using a 1/2” wrench. See Figure 9.7.
2. Gently pull down on the pedal shaft.
3. Apply a generous amount of a high quality lithium
grease to the support strap and the shaft using a
brush.
4. Put the support strap back in place and install the
screw that was removed in step 1.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 on the opposite side.
