GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this mower does not cover
items that have been subjected to operator
abuse or negligence. To receive full value from
the warranty, operator must maintain mower as
instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodi-
cally to properly maintain your mower.
All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments
section of the this manual should be checked at
least once each season.
• Once a year you should replace the
spark plug, clean or replace air filter, and
check blades and belts for wear. A new
spark plug and clean air filter assure
proper air-fuel mixture and help your
engine run better and last longer.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Check engine oil level.
• Check brake operation.
• Check tire pressure.
• Check operator presence and interlock
systems for proper operation.
• Check for loose fasteners.
