LUBRICATION CHART
CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OIL OR GREASE THE
PIVOT POINTS WHICH HAVE SPECIAL NYLON
BEARINGS. VISCOUS LUBRICANTS WILL
ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT THAT WILL SHORTEN
THE LIFE OF THE SELF-LUBRICATING BEARINGS.
IF YOU FEEL THEY MUST BE LUBRICATED, USE
ONLY A DRY, POWDERED GRAPHITE TYPE
LUBRICANT SPARINGLY.
TIRES
• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires
(See "SPECIFICATIONS" section of this
manual).
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect
control chemicals which can harm
rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp
objects and other hazards that may
cause tire damage.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent flat
tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may be
purchased from your local parts dealer. Tire
sealant also prevents tire dry rot and corrosion.
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM
Be sure the operator presence and interlock
systems are working properly. If your mower
does not function as described, repair the
problem immediately.
• The engine should not start unless the
parking brake is engaged, the PTO
switch is disengaged (pressed down),
the operator is on the seat, and the
control levers are rotated to the outside
of the mower.
• When the engine is running, any attempt
by the operator to leave the seat without
first setting the park brake should shut off
the engine.
• When the engine is running and the PTO
switch is engaged, any attempt by the
operator to leave the seat without first
disengaging the PTO switch, should shut
off the engine.
• When the engine is running and the
control levers are rotated in, any attempt
by the operator to leave the seat without
rotating the control levers out, should
shut off the engine.
• The PTO switch should never engage
without the operator on the seat.
BLADE CARE
For best results, mower blades must be kept
sharp. Replace bent or damage blades.
BLADE REMOVAL (See Fig. 8)
NOTE: Protect your hands with gloves and/or
wrap blade with heavy cloth.
• Remove blade bolt by turning
counterclockwise.
• Install new or re-sharpened blade with
stamped "THIS SIDE UP" facing deck
and cutter housing.
