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. Lift the tabs on top of the filter cover.
2. Remove the filter cover.
3. Wash filter element in soap water. 

DO NOT USE 

GASOLINE!

4. Air dry filter element.
5. Place a few drops of SAE30 oil on the foam filter and 

squeeze tightly to remove any excess oil.

6. Reinstall filter.

NOTE: Replace filter if frayed, torn, damaged or 
unable to be cleaned. (Fig. 12)

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.

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. 13

. 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:

10-3 BLADE MOUNTING TORQUE

Center bolt 35 Nm - 45 Nm, to insure safe operation of 
your unit. All nuts and bolts must be checked periodically 
for correct tightness.
After prolonged use, especially in sandy soil conditions, 
the blade will become worn and lose some of the original 
shape. Cutting efficiently will be reduced and the blade 
should be replaced. Replace with an approved factory 
replacement blade only. Possible damage resulting from 
blade unbalance condition is not the responsibility of the 
manufacturer.
When you change the blade, you must use the original 
type marked on the blade (Makita 263001451) (to order 
the blade, please contact your local dealer or call our 
company, see cover page). 

10-4 ENGINE

Refer to the separate engine manual for engine 
maintenance instructions.
Maintain engine oil as instructed in the separate engine 
manual packed with your unit. Read and follow 
instructions carefully.
Service air cleaner as per separate engine manual 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 packed with your unit.
The spark plug should be cleaned and the gap reset once 
a season. Spark plug replacement is recommended at the 
start of each mowing season; check engine manual for 
correct plug type and gap specifications.
Clean the engine regularly with a cloth or brush. Keep the 
cooling system (blower housing area) clean to permit 
proper air circulation which is essential to engine 
performance and life. Be certain to remove all grass, dirt 
and combustible debris from muffler area.

11. STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS 

(OFF SEASON)

The following steps should be taken to prepare lawn 
mower for storage.
1. Empty the tank after the last mowing of the season.

a) Empty the petrol tank with a suction pump.

CAUTION:

 Do not drain the petrol in closed 

rooms, in close proximity of open fire, etc. Do not smoke! 
Petrol fumes can cause explosion or fire.

b) Start the engine and let it run until it has used up all 

remaining petrol and stalls.

c) Remove the spark plug. Use an oilcan to fill approx. 

20 ml oil into the combustion chamber. Operate the
