Seeding” in this manual for pre–seeding instructions and
for the best seeding pattern for the area being seeded.
Move the LS–22 to the turf before lowering the blade
assembly. To prevent damage, do not operate the LS–
22 across rock covered areas or over obstacles. Do Not
move from turf to pavement with the blades down.
TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE BLADES,
Do Not Move From The Turf To The Pavement With
The Blades Down.
If The Blade Strikes An Object, STOP THE ENGINE
And Inspect The Blades And The Object. Replace
Any Bent Or Broken Blades.
When inspecting the blade assembly,
stop the engine
and move to a level
surface. Use caution and wear the
proper protective items when working
around the blades.
