MAINTENANCE
When replacement parts are required, use genuine
Schiller Grounds Care, Inc. parts or parts with
equivalent characteristics, including type, strength
and material. Failure to do so may result in
product malfunction and possible injury to the
operator and/or bystanders.
Carbon monoxide present in the exhaust is an
odorless and deadly gas. Never start or run the
engine inside where exhaust fumes can collect.
Provide enough fresh air to keep fumes from getting
too strong.
Replace any warning decal that becomes illegible
immediately.
