cover items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, operator must
maintain mower as instructed in this
manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your unit.
All adjustments in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual should
be checked at least once each season.

IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease plastic
wheel beatings. Viscous lubricants will attract
dust and dirtthat will shorten the life of the self
lubricating bearings. Ifyou feel they must be
lubricated, use only a dry, powdered graphite
type lubricant sparingly.
