recommended service schedule.
Your RC Mowers dealer can provide service and
adjustments to keep your unit operating at peak
efficiency. Contact an authorized engine
manufacturer’s service center for engine service.
More frequent service may be required due to
working conditions (heavy loads, high ambient
temperatures, dusty conditions, or airborne debris).
See the maintenance instructions in the Engine
Manual for additional information.
