ware to make location easy. Refer to illustrations, accompanying text, parts
lists and exploded view drawings.
Before working underneath, carefully read Operator’s Manual
instructions, disconnect driveline, raise mower, securely block up all
corners with jackstands, and check stability. Secure blocking prevents
equipment from dropping due to hydraulic leak down, hydraulic system
failures, or mechanical component failures.
Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing to avoid getting
caught in moving parts. Wear sturdy, rough-soled work shoes and pro

tective equipment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and respira
