DECK CLEANING
After each use remove grass buildup
from under the mower deck. Excessive
grass buildup will interfere with the
operation and performance of the
mower deck. Excessive grass buildup
may also cause component failure.
BLADE INSPECTION
Do not handle mower blades with bare
hands. Use heavy leather gloves or
wrap blade with protective material
and block securely when removing
blades. Careless or improper handling
may result in serious injury.
Inspect blades before each use to determine that
they are mounted securely and are in good condi-
tion. Replace any blade that is bent, excessively
nicked, worn, or has any other damage. Small
nicks can be ground out when sharpening.

require more frequent lubrication.
In addition to these lubrication points, lightly oil
all linkage pivot points.
Use an SAE multipurpose type grease for all lo-
cations shown. Be sure to clean fitting
thoroughly before using grease gun.
