Maintenance
The brush mower’s debris guard should be inspected before each
use and any debris removed from the chains.
Debris Guards
The debris guards are constructed of heavy link chain and should
never require replacement. Make sure that the chain links in the
debris guard provide adequte coverage in the front and back of
the brush mower. Dislodge any material that collects in the debris
guards on a regular basis
only when the engine is stopped
and the
brush mower is on level ground.
Battery Care
Proper care can extend the life of a battery. Follow the recommen-
dations listed to ensure your battery’s best performance.
1. Do not allow the battery charge to get too low. If the machine
is not used, charge the battery every 4 – 6 weeks. Operate the
engine for at least 45 minutes to maintain proper battery charge.
2. Store an unused battery in a dry area that does not freeze.
3. Do not charge an already charged battery. In theory, you cannot
overcharge our battery with a trickle charger; however, when a
battery is fully charged and the charger is still on, it generates
heat that could be harmful to the battery. A fully charged battery
will read 12V-13.2V with a voltmeter.
4. Do not continue to crank the engine when the battery charge is
low. Damage to the engine may result.
