MAINTENANCE

LAWN MOWER

Always observe safety rules when performing any main- tenance.

TIRES

Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chem- icals which can harm rubber.

Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and other hazards that may cause tire damage.

DRIVE WHEELS

Check wheels each time before you mow to be sure they move freely.

The wheels not turning freely means trash, grass cuttings, etc. are in the drive wheel or dust cover area and must be cleaned to free drive wheels. If necessary to clean the drive wheels, be sure to clean all wheels.

1.Remove hubcaps, locknuts and washers.

2.Remove wheels from wheel adjusters.

3.Remove any trash or grass cuttings from inside the dust cover, pinion and/or drive wheel gear teeth.

4.Put wheels back in place.

NOTE: If after cleaning, the drive wheels do not turn freely, contact a qualified service center.
