Maintenance
Annual inspection and maintenance from an au-
thorized Yazoo/Kees dealer is recommended to
keep your machine in the best condition mechani-
cally and ensures safe operation.
Engine oil
Engine oil should be checked daily before starting
the machine. See the engine manufacturers
manual for specifications on type of oil, filling in-
structions and service intervals. FIG - 8
Mower blades
Inspect blades and sharpen or replace as needed.
Check blades daily or as needed. Bent, cracked
or blades with large notches in them should be
replaced. Sharpen to an angle of 22 to 28 degrees.
Always check the balance of the blades after
sharpening to prevent excessive vibration.
MAINTENANCE

system is not functioning properly. The starter
should crank only when the operator is in the seat,
the parking brake is applied, blade switch off and
the motion control levers in the neutral slots. If the
machine starts with any of these controls in an
operating position, turn the machine off and re-
pair the system immediately.
