the Operator’s Manual. Also included in the Operator’s Manual is
important information on operation, adjustment, troubleshooting,
and maintenance for this attachment (some of these sections do
not apply to all options).
A separate Parts Manual for replacement parts can be pur-
chased from your dealer. Have model and serial numbers handy
