Prepare Your Mower For A Winter’s Rest i—i-.. Murray Mowar Tips for lawn mowar for tha wlntar smpty tha gas tank, changa tha oil, replace tha oil filter and cheek tha gap on your sparkplug. These are Just a few of tha steps to ensure tha long Ufa of your lawn mower. As autumn leaves decorate our lawns, many mowers are shoved into the garage or under the porch for a well-deserved winter’s rest. When spring arrives, many of these mowers will be cantankerous creatures, stub born to start, if they start at all, while others will sputter and cough clouds of fumes. It doesn't have to be that way. By taking a few minutes to prop erly prepare your mower for its first winter hibernation, you help prolong its life and avoid those first-time start up problems next year. According to Murray Mower product manager Jack Boone, one of the important secrets is where you store your mower. "The best place is one that's dry," Boone says. “Moisture causes corro sion in electrical connections and metal parts. In a small engine, this can be a very serious problem. No mower should ever be left out in the elements. If you don’t have a garage, storage building or some other dry. enclosed structure, take a water-re pellent tarpaulin and some rope to wrap it up for winter storage. Plastic tarpaulins in most instances produce condensation; it's better to use a material that breathes." Before storage, every mower needs its annual “cleaning,” beginning with the fuel tank. To do this, start your mower and let it run until the engine runs out of gasoline and stops. If gasoline is left in a mower, it can form a sticky coating throughout the fuel system, making start-up ex tremely difficult. Once the engine has stopped and while it is still warm, disconnect the spark plug wire and drain the old oil from the engine. If your engine has an oil filter, remove it and replace it with a new one. Then pour new oil back into the engine's crankcase or sump, taking care to put in the correct volume. Your old oil is usually welcomed by most service stations for recycling. Be careful with flames' and sparks around gasoline and oil. If your air cleaner is made of pa per. it probably should be replaced. If it’s foam, it may be cleaned with detergent and water. After you've cleaned and dried the filter, moisten it with a little motor oil before re placing. Mower spark plugs usually last several seasons, but it's a good idea to check it to make sure the gap is the correct setting and that there are no dirty or oily deposits. A wire brush will quickly remove any. Finally, clean any clippings or debris from above and below the deck. These clippings can hold mois ture. causing serious rust problems later on. Whenever you do any work below the deck near the blade, be sure to always disconnect the spark plug wire first. Other areas of main tenance are described in the owners manual you received with your mower. "You can save a lot of aggrava tion and unnecessary repair bills by preparing your mower for winter stor age,” Boone says. “It only takes a few minutes, and it’s worth it.” Murray Ohio Manufacturing Co., headquartered in Brentwood.

Ga.—The National Conference of Black Mayors held Its quarterly board of directors meeting in the United States Virgin Islands. More than 20 African-American mayors were in St. Thomas from Oct. 18-20. The organization was invited to meet in St. Thomas by the USVI Ministry of Tourism’s Office of Black Conventions and Meetings. This marked the first time in its 10-year history that NCBM had met off shore. NCBM's president, Mayor Unita Blackwell of Mayersville. Miss.. emu mended the I'SYI for focusing on securing black meetings and conventions. Mavor Blackwell further commented. "According to Successful Meetings, a tourism publication. African-Americans spend in excess of S:t billion on conventions and other meetings. It is important for the I’SYI to capture some of that revenue because as a part of the African diaspora, we should be able to support each other’s economic growth." Attending the meeting were some of NCHM's U.S. based corporate sponsors. HAD AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT with PERSONAL INJURY? Know Your Rights—CaU A Lawyer!
