OWNER SERVICE
The information in this section is written for operators
who possess basic mechanical skills. Should you need
help, your dealer has trained service technicians avail-
able. For your protection, read and follow all safety
information in this manual.
Keep hands, feet, hair, and clothing away from
equipment while engine is running. Stay clear of all
moving parts.
Before performing any service or maintenance,
lower mower to ground or block securely, turn off
tractor engine, remove key, set parking brake, and
remove belt from tractor PTO sheave.

component failures.

area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.

to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear

equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head;
and respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
