GENERAL SERVICE:
• Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly
ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an odorless, and deadly
gas.
• Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting,
make certain the blade(s) and all moving
parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark
plug wire and ground against the engine
to prevent unintended starting.
• Periodically check to make sure the blades
come to complete stop within approxi-
mately (5) five seconds after operating the
blade disengagement control. If the blades
do not stop within the this time frame, your
unit should be serviced professionally by
an authorized Service Dealer.
• Check brake operation frequently as it is
subjected to wear during normal operation.
Adjust and service as required.
• Check the blade(s) and engine mounting
bolts at frequent intervals for proper tight-
ness. Also, visually inspect blade(s) for
damage (e.g., excessive wear, bent,
cracked).
• Replace the blade(s) with the original
equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.)
blade(s) only, listed in this manual. “Use of
parts which do not meet the original equip-
ment specifications may lead to improper
performance and compromise safety!”
• Mower blades are sharp. Wrap the blade
or wear gloves, and use extra caution
when servicing them.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be
sure the equipment is in safe working con-
dition.
• Never tamper with the safety interlock sys-
tem or other safety devices. Check their
proper operation regularly.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the en-
gine, disconnect the spark plug wire(s)
and ground against the engine. Thor-
oughly inspect the machine for any
damage. Repair the damage before start-
ing and operating.
• Never attempt to make adjustments or re-
pairs to the machine while the engine is
running.
• Grass catcher components and the dis-
charge cover are subject to wear and
damage which could expose moving parts
or allow objects to be thrown. For safety
protection, frequently check components
and replace immediately with original
equipment manufacturer’s (O.E.M.) parts
only, listed in this manual. “Use of parts
which do not meet the original equipment
specifications may lead to improper perfor-
mance and compromise safety!”
• Do not change the engine governor set-
tings or over-speed the engine. The
governor controls the maximum safe oper-
ating speed of the engine.
• Maintain or replace safety and instruction
labels, as necessary.
• Observe proper disposal laws and regula-
tions for gas, oil, etc. to protect the
environment.
