GENERAL MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Some maintenance services, such as engine repairs, electrical repairs, etc., should be
performed only by a qualified technician.
•
Check overall condition of unit prior to each use, repairing or replacing worn, damaged or
missing components promptly. Check all fasteners regularly and tighten if necessary.
•
Follow engine manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance schedules. Use only
recommended parts, fluids and lubricants. Failure to follow manufacturer’s
recommendations may void manufacturer’s warranties.
•
Lubricate impeller shaft bearings every 50 hours of operation. Use a high quality bearing
grease, available from your local dealer (or auto parts store).
•
Maintain tire pressure as indicated on tire sidewall. Replace worn or damaged tires
promptly.
•
Keep engine free from a buildup of grass, leaves or excessive grease. An accumulation of
these combustible materials may result in a fire, or simply impede performance.
•
Never change attachments or make any adjustments, repairs or replacements until the
unit is completely shut down and the battery is disconnected.
