GENERAL SERVICE
Never run an engine indoors or in a poorly ventilated area. Engine exhaust contains
carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly gas.
• Before cleaning, repairing, or inspecting, make certain the blade and all moving
parts have stopped. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ground against the
engine to prevent unintended starting.
• Check the blade and engine mounting bolts at frequent intervals for proper
tightness. Also, visually inspect blade for damage (e.g., bent, cracked, worn).
• Replace blade with the original equipment manufacture's (O.E.M.) blade only,
listed in the Parts pages of this manual. Use of parts which do not meet the
original equipment specifications may lead to improper performance and
compromise safety!
• Mower blades are sharp and can cut. Wrap the blade or wear gloves, and use
extra caution when servicing them.
• Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight to be sure the equipment is in safe
working condition.
• Never tamper with safety devices. Check their proper operation regularly.
• After striking a foreign object, stop the engine, disconnect the spark plug wire
and ground against the engine. Thoroughly inspect the mower for any damage.
Repair the damage before starting and operating the mower.
• Never attempt to make a wheel or cutting height adjustment while the engine
is running.
• Discharge cover, and trail shield are subject to wear and damage which could
expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. For safety protection,
frequently check components and replace immediately with original
equipment manufacturer's (O.E.M.) parts only, listed in the Parts pages of this
manual. Use of parts which do not meet the original equipment specifications
may lead to improper performance and compromise safety!
• Do not change the engine's governor setting or over-speed the engine. The
governor controls the maximum safe operating speed of the engine.
