TRANSPORTING
•
Shut off engine.
•
Secure in place while unit is being transported.
•
Unit should be left in low gear to avoid any slight rolling.
SUGGESTED PRACTICES
•
Always operate engine at full throttle when cutting to assure the best cutting
performance and proper discharge of material.
•
If grass is wet, allow it to dry. Wet grass clumps will collect on the bottom of the
deck.
•
Go slow when cutting dense areas. Some dense areas may need to be gone over
twice. Better results occur if the second cut is 90 degrees to the first cut.
BEFORE EACH SEASON
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
•
Replace the spark plug.
•
Clean or replace the air filter.
•
Check blades and belts for wear.
BEFORE EACH USE
•
Check engine oil level. (Do this twice to ensure an accurate reading.)
•
Check condition of air filter and clean or replace if necessary.
•
Check blade operation.
•
Check for loose fasteners.
DAILY MAINTENANCE
Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight and cotter pins and retainer springs are secure.
Keep blades sharp. Observe all safety precautions.
BLADE CARE AND SERVICE
For best results cutter blades must be kept sharp. The blades can be sharpened with a few
strokes of a file or grinding wheel. Do Not attempt to sharpen while on the cutter.
Important: Replace blades that have been damaged or deeply nicked.
Important: Check blade and spindle hardware on a regular basis to make sure nuts are
tight.
