Background
The Craftsman Walk Behind Mower 917.376080 is a lawn maintenance tool designed for cutting grass. Manufactured by Roper Corporation for Sears, this 22-inch multi-cut rotary lawn mower is equipped with a 6.5 HP Briggs & Stratton 4-cycle engine.
The mower provides various grass cutting options, including rear bagging, side discharge, and mulching capabilities. It features a cutting width of 22 inches and an adjustable cutting height, ranging from 1-3 inches across nine positions. The mower runs on unleaded regular gasoline, with a gas tank capacity of 1.6 quarts. It also requires oil, with a capacity of 20 ounces of either SAE 30 (above 32°F) or SAE 5W-30 (below 32°F). The mower is equipped with a 22-inch steel blade.
To operate the mower, the operator presence control bar is held down while pulling the starter handle. The blade spins when the engine is running, and the ground speed and blade are regulated using two separate control bars. The mower features a mulcher door that enables conversion between mulching, rear bagging, and side discharge modes. Its cutting height is adjustable using a lever on each wheel. Regular maintenance tasks include checking the engine oil level before each use, changing the engine oil every 25 hours of use, cleaning the air filter and underside of the mower regularly, and sharpening or replacing the blade when necessary.
