!WARNING!

When mounting blades, rotate them after installation to ensure blade tips do not touch each other or sides of the mower.

!WARNING!

Failure to correctly torque the bolt may result in the loss of the blade which can cause serious injury.

STORAGE

When storing the unit at the end of the mowing season, the following steps should be taken to ensure readiness for the next mowing season.

1.Remove all grass, dirt, and trash. Clean and touch up all scrapes with Land Pride spray paint.

2.Clean paper air filter. Replace if necessary. Wash and re-oil foam pre-cleaner.

3.Check thoroughly for any worn or damaged parts that need replacing and order them from your dealer.

4.Thoroughly lubricate machine, according to lubrication instructions.

7.Protect battery from freezing temperatures. Occasionally recharging battery during storage will extend battery life.

8.Perform separate engine preparation as listed below.

9.Store mower in a clean, dry place.

Preparation of Engine for Storage

When engine is to be unused for long periods, proceed as follows:

1.Run engine for a minimum of 15 minutes.

2.Drain oil from crankcase while engine is still warm.

3.Refill with fresh oil of proper viscosity.

4.Drain fuel tank and run the engine until it stops from lack of fuel. Gasoline evaporates if left in carburetor for long periods, forming gum and varnish deposits in carburetor. These deposits will cause engine flooding and loss of power.

5.Remove and replace fuel filter if not done in previous 100 hours.

6.Remove spark plugs and pour a tablespoon of engine oil into each spark plug hole. Install plugs, but do not reconnect plug leads.

7.Crank engine with starter at least a dozen revolutions to distribute oil over cylinder walls and valve mechanism.

8.Clean exterior surface of engine. Spread a light film of oil over any exposed metal surfaces of engine that are subject to corrosion.

9.Clean dirt and chaff from cylinders and fins, blower housing and muffler.

10.Check oil filler cap and fuel tank cap to make certain they are securely in place.

New Season Preparation

Before starting the mower following post season storage, the following servicing is required:

1.Clean mower, removing trash and dirt accumulation.

2.Check engine oil and hydraulic oil levels.

3.Fill fuel tank with fresh gasoline. Run machine at half speed for 5 minutes, checking operation of steering control levers. Stop engine and check for oil leaks, loose fittings and so forth.

4.Tighten any bolts that have loosened and make sure all hair pins, cotter pins and clevis pins are in place.

5.Install all safety shields and review safety precautions listed in this manual.

6.Check and inflate tires to 8-12 psi.

7.Reconnect spark plug leads to spark plug.
