period.
• If the fuel tank is to be drained, do this outdoors.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for safe loading, unloading and storage of machine.
• If it is necessary for any reason to unclog the feed intake or discharge openings or to inspect or repair the
machine where a moving part can come in contact with your body or clothing, shut the machine off, allow
all moving parts to come to a complete stop, disconnect the spark plug wire(s) and allow the engine to
cool before attempting to unclog, inspect or repair.
• Check the knife mounting screws at frequent intervals for proper
tightness. Also visually inspect the knife for wear or damage. Replace the knife with parts that meet
original equipment specifications.
• Knives should be checked for sharpness and the bolts attaching them to the flywheel for tightness every
8-10 hours of operation.
• Replace the nylock nuts securing the knife every time you replace the knife.
• Check the gap between the knife and wear plate every time you
sharpen or replace the knife, or every 8-10 hours of operation.

• Inspect the belt each time you use the unit. Look for damage, worn areas or tears. Do not use the unit if
this condition exists.
• Do not tamper with the engine’s governor setting. The governor controls the maximum safe operation
speed and protects the engine. Over-speeding the engine is dangerous and will cause damage to the
engine and to the other moving parts of the machine. See your authorized dealer for engine governor
