INTRODUCTION
This Mower is designed with care and built with quality materials by skilled workers. Proper assembly,
maintenance, and operating practices, as described in this manual, will help the owner/operator get years of
satisfactory service from the machine.
The purpose of this manual is to familiarize and instruct the owner/operator with proper mower operating
procedures. The Assembly Section instructs the owner/operator in the correct assembly of the Mower using
standard and optional equipment. The Parts Listing section is designed to familiarize the owner/operator with
replaceable parts on the Mower. This section provides exploded assembly drawings of each mower
component illustrating each piece and the corresponding part number.
Careful use and timely service saves extensive repairs and costly downtime losses. The Operation and
Maintenance Sections of the manual train the owner/operator how to work the Mower correctly and attend to
appropriate maintenance. The Trouble Shooting Guide helps diagnose difficulties with the mower and offers
solutions to possible problems.
Safety is of primary importance to the owner/operator and to the manufacturer. The first section of this
manual includes a list of Safety Messages, that, if followed, will help protect the operator and bystanders
from injury or death. Many of the Safety Messages will be repeated throughout the manual. The owner/
operator/dealer should know these Safety Messages before assembly and be aware of the hazards of
