CUSTOMER SERVICE INFORMATION........Back Cover

Dear Owner:

Thank you for purchasing this product. You now own
one of the finest walk-behind mulching/side-discharge
mowers available.  This mower was carefully designed
and manufactured to provide excellent performance if
properly operated and maintained.

Read this manual.  This manual is considered a perma-
nent part of the unit and it must stay with the unit if it is
resold. A replacement manual can be obtained from
your authorized dealer or the factory. All information in
this manual is based on the latest product information
available at the time of printing.

Review this manual frequently to familiarize yourself
with the unit, its features and its safe operation. Be sure
that you and any other operators carefully follow the
recommended safety practices at all times. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or property damage.

This product has met the rigid safety standards of the
Outdoor Power Equipment Institute and an independent
testing laboratory.

Please complete and return the postpaid owner regis-
tration card included with this manual.  The purpose of
the card is to register each unit and owner at the fac-
tory to provide product updates and warranty service.

If you have any problems or questions concerning the
unit, please contact your local authorized dealer or the
factory (see back page of this manual). We want to be
sure that you are completely satisfied at all times.

NOTE: This manual covers various mower models,
some of which may no longer available.  Be sure to use
only the information that applies to your mower model.
