Background
The Craftsman Walk Behind Mower 917.372830 is a gas-powered lawn mower. It is equipped with a 5.5 horsepower Craftsman 143.955500 engine and uses unleaded regular gasoline with a 1.25-quart fuel capacity. The mower also requires SAE 30 oil with a 20 oz capacity for its operations. The mower's cutting width is 22 inches, with an adjustable cutting height that varies from 1 to 3.5 inches in 6 increments.
The mower is designed with a convertible deck, which allows for three different grass clipping options: mulching, bagging, and side discharge. The mower is propelled by a variable speed rear wheel drive that can be controlled through a drive control lever. It utilizes a recoil start system with primer for initiating operation. The deck is made of steel and can accommodate an optional grass collection bag. To enable mulching, a mulching plug must be installed. A clipping deflector is also available for the side discharge option. Regular maintenance, such as checking and changing the engine oil and replacing the air filter and spark plug, is necessary for optimal performance. The underside of the deck and the engine cooling fins should also be cleaned regularly to prevent grass build-up and maintain efficient operation. The mower's owner's manual provides further details on maintenance procedures and parts information.
