Background
The Craftsman Walk Behind Mower 917.378350, manufactured by Sears, is a gas-powered lawn mower. It operates with a 6.25 HP Craftsman 4-cycle engine and has a cutting width of 21 inches. The mower comes with an adjustable cutting height feature that ranges from 1-3.75 inches. The mower is self-propelled with a 5-speed rear wheel gear drive and uses a recoil pull start. It has a fuel tank capacity of 1.5 quarts and uses either SAE 30 or SAE 5W-30 oil depending on the temperature. The mower also features a 21-inch steel blade and a 2.9 bushel rear bag grass catcher with an indicator window to show when the bag needs emptying.
The Craftsman 917.378350 mower has a dual lever height adjuster that allows the cutting height to be adjusted in 6 increments. It uses an operator presence control bar to detect if the operator is in the correct position to operate the mower. The mower requires regular maintenance such as checking the engine oil level, cleaning the air filter, replacing the spark plug, and sharpening or replacing the blade as needed. Also, the underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent the buildup of grass clippings. The mower operates on fresh unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 and should not be used with gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol.
