SOME IMPORTANT DO’S AND DON’TS FOR SAFE AND EFFECTIVE OPERATION:

operate mower without hose, cover and bags in place.
...Inspect unit often for wear and damage. Replace worn or damaged items
promptly.
...Grease bearing units regularly with a quality lithium grease.

...Operate the rider without the weight channel and bars installed. Rear tipping
of rider can result.
