!WARNING

Unless specifically required, DO NOT have engine running when servicing or making adjustments to the mower. Place both control levers in the park position and remove ignition switch key. Read and observe safety warnings in front of manual.

Repairs or maintenance requiring engine power should be performed by trained personnel only. To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, be sure proper ventilation is available when engine must be operated in an enclosed area.

Your Razor was adjusted before it left the factory and was checked during pre-delivery set-up. However, after start-up and continued use, a certain amount of break-in wear will cause some adjustments to change.

Remain alert for unusual noises, they could be signaling a problem. Visually inspect the machine for any abnormal wear or damage. A good time to detect potential problems is while performing scheduled maintenance service. Correcting the problem as quickly as possible is the best insurance.

!WARNING

Keep your machine clean. Remove heavy trash deposits and clippings from the machine. Keep all moving parts, hydraulic system, engine cooling system and exhaust system clean of trash and clippings. Accumulation of trash and/or clippings can cause fires, hydraulic overheating and excessive belt wear.

Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the area of oil, fuel and engine combustion air inlets and openings. Minute dust particles are abrasive to close-tolerance engine and hydraulic assemblies.

Some repairs require the assistance of a trained service mechanic and should not be attempted by unskilled personnel. Consult your Land Pride service center when assistance is needed.

!WARNING

Particular attention must be given to tightening the drive wheel lug nuts and blade spindle bolts. Failure to correctly torque these items may result in the loss of a wheel or blade, which can cause serious damage or personal injury.

NOTE: Refer to "Torque Values Chart" and “Additional Torque Values” on page 48 for correct torque values.

It is recommended that the following be checked after the first 2 hours of initial operation, and every 50 hours following removal for repair or replacement:

•Wheel lug nuts

•Wheel motor nuts

•Blade bolts

•For engine torque values, see engine owner’s manual.
