MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Fill in dates as you
complete regular service.
BEFORE EACH USE
CHECK FOR LOOSE FASTENERS
1.
Make a thorough visual check of the Mow-N- Vac for any
bolts and nuts which may have loosened. Retighten any
loose bolts and nuts.
CHECK VINYL BOOT
2. Check the soft vinyl boot (on front of hard top) for wear.
Replace if worn or damaged.
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
3. Check tire pressure regularly. Recommended tire
pressure is 12-14 Lbs.
CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL
4. Check oil level before each use. Maintain engine oil as
instructed in the separate engine manual.
LUBRICATION
1. At the beginning of each season, lubricate the latch, latch
pivot bolt, and the axle where the hitch tongue pivots,
with a light machine oil.
2. At least once a season, grease or oil the wheel bearings.
Use automotive wheel bearing type grease or 20 weight
oil.
WARNING: Always stop engine and
disconnect spark plug wire before
cleaning, lubricating or before performing
any repairs or maintenance.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
1. Check oil level before each use. Maintain engine oil as
instructed in the separate engine manual.
2. Service air cleaner every 25 hours under normal
conditions. Clean every few hours under extremely
dusty conditions. Poor engine performance and flooding
usually indicates that the air cleaner should be serviced.
To service the air cleaner, refer to the separate engine
manual.
3. The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset
once a season. Spark plug replacement is recommended
at the start of each season. Check the engine manual
for correct plug type and gap specifications.
CLEANING
1. Make sure the cart, the side and front panels and top are
cleaned after each use. Grass clippings and leaves left
in the cart will mildew and cause damage if not cleaned
out.
2. Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the
cooling fins on the engine housing clean to permit proper
air circulation which is essential to engine performance
and life. Be sure to remove all dirt and debris from muffler
area.
STORAGE
3. If storing in an unventilated or metal storage shed, coat
metal parts with light oil or silicone to prevent rust.
4. Store unit in a clean, dry area.
1. Clean the engine and the entire unit thoroughly.
2. Refer to engine manual for correct engine storage
instructions.
