Troubleshooting, Adjustment, & Service

WARNING

Before checking mower, shut off PTO and engine, remove the key, and allow all moving parts to stop.

CAUTION

DO NOT remove the mower deck baffles. The baffles help prevent grass clippings from becoming airborne and plugging up the engine cooling fins.
