Section 3 Adjustments

!WARNING!

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

Your Accu Z was adjusted before it left the factory and was checked during pre-delivery setup. 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 and remove heavy deposits of trash and clippings, they can cause engine fires and hydraulic overheating as well as excessive belt wear.

Clear away heavy build-up of grease, oil and dirt, especially in the area of reservoir and oil and engine combustion air; 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.
