To retain the quality of your mower, use genuine YAZOO/

YAZOO/KEES dealer for parts and service assistance.
For the correct part or information for your particular
mower, always mention model and serial number. We
recommend returning your mower to an authorized
YAZOO/KEES dealer on a yearly basis for inspection
and addition of any new devices which might upgrade
the performance and saftey of your mower. For engine
parts and service, look in the yellow pages for the engine
manufacturer's dealers under the heading engines -

The interlock modules function is to prevent the engine
from starting if the blade and/or traction systems are
engaged. It also causes engine shutdown if the operator
falls from, or attempts to leave the operator position
while the blades or traction drives are engaged. After
the engine starts, the operator must hold either the left or
right O.P. lever down before engaging the blades or
shifting the transmission into gear. If niether O.P. lever is
held the engine will stop.

If mower is cutting improperly, check the following:
1. Ground speed - too fast for proper cutting. Shift to a
lower gear.
2. Engine speed - too low for proper cutting. Increase
engine speed.
3. Cutting height - too low for ground/grass conditions.
Adjust to higher cut.
4. Blade spacers - not positoned properly on all blade
shafts. Visually inspect and replace or adjust as
necessary.
5. Front casters - spacers not in correct relationship with
rear axle. Adjust as necessary.
6. Belt slippage - causing bad cutting pattern or uneven
cut. Adjust belt tension
7. Tire pressure - uneven tire pressure can cause an
uneven cut from one side of the deck to the other.
Equalize tire pressure.
