Background
The Craftsman Walk Behind Mower 917.387321 is a lawn cutting machine that is manually propelled, produced by the Roper Corporation for Sears. The machine is equipped with a 20-inch cutting width and a 6.0 horsepower engine. The engine has an 11.5 cubic inch displacement. The machine can hold 1.5 quarts of unleaded gasoline and uses SAE 30 or SAE 5W-30 oil, depending on the temperature. The recommended spark plug for this model is either the Champion RJ19LM or J19LM. The blade bolt torque is set to 35-40 foot-pounds.
The mower's features include the ability to mulch, bag, and discharge grass from the side. It offers a 9 position height adjustment that ranges from 1.5 inches to 4 inches. The handles can be folded to make storage more compact. Starting the engine requires the operator to be present, checking oil and gas levels, pushing the primer 5 times for a cold start, and pulling the starter cord while the operator presence control bar is held down. Stopping the mower is as easy as releasing the operator presence control bar. To change the cutting height, the lever is squeezed towards the wheel and the wheel is then moved up or down. Regular maintenance, such as changing the oil, cleaning the air filter, replacing the spark plug, sharpening or replacing the blade, and cleaning under the mower deck after each use, is recommended to keep the mower in good working condition. The grass catcher should be emptied after each use and hosed off before the next use. The Craftsman 917.387321 walk behind mower is suitable for small yards due to its compact size and easy storage.
