DO NOT attempt any maintenance, adjustments or service with engine and blade running. STOP engine and blade. Disconnect spark plug wire and secure away from spark plug. Engine and components are HOT. Avoid serious burns, allow sufficient time for all components to cool.

Belt Service

On self-propelled mowers, the engine belt transmits power from the engine to the transmission that powers the rear wheels. Should the belt become worn, it could cause slip- page, which would impair mower performance. The condi- tion of the engine belt should be checked after every 25 hours of mower operation.
