WARNING
Unless specifically required, DO NOT have engine running
when servicing or making adjustments to the mower. Place
control levers in the park position, set the park lever to (ON)
and remove ignition switch key.
Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be
performed by trained personnel only. To prevent carbon
monoxide poisoning, be sure proper ventilation is available
when engine must be operated in an enclosed area. Read and
observe safety warnings in front of manual.
Your Razor was adjusted before it left the factory and
was checked during pre-delivery set-up. However, after
start-up and continued use, a certain amount of break-in
wear will cause some adjustments to change.
Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling
a problem. Visually inspect the machine for any
abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect
potential problems is while performing scheduled
maintenance service. Correcting the problem as quickly
as possible is the best insurance.
!
WARNING
Keep your machine clean. Remove heavy trash deposits and
clippings from the machine. Keep all moving parts, hydraulic
system, engine cooling system and exhaust system clean of
trash and clippings. Accumulation of trash and/or clippings
can cause fires, hydraulic overheating and excessive belt
wear.
Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt,
especially in the area of oil, fuel and engine combustion
air; minute dust particles are abrasive to close-tolerance
engine and hydraulic assemblies.
Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service
mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled
personnel. Consult your Land Pride service center when
assistance is needed.
