MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

INSPECT BEFORE EACH USE

-Loose fasteners: Be sure all fasteners are at proper torque. Especially guards and blades.

-Parking brake: If brake does not keep unit from rolling, brake must be adjusted or repaired.

-Tires: Always check and maintain proper tire pressure (See tire sidewall for recommendation). Check for damage due to sharp rocks, objects or stumps.

-Operator Presence System: The engine should not start unless the PTO switch is disengaged and the control levers are locked in the neutral position. Any attempt to leave the seated position with the PTO switch engaged will kill the engine.
