tain level deck cutting.

Verify proper function of all mower deck wheels. The wheels should turn freely without excessive
side-to-side motion, and be free of debris. Clean, adjust, replace, and grease as necessary.
Check that each wheel swivels freely in the shaft pivot collar, and the bearings are in good condi-
tion. If any wheel does not swivel freely, clean and grease the shaft collar assembly. Replace the
bearings if necessary.

lem before operating your Lastec Mower.

any abnormal noises, runs roughly, or displays any other usual characteristics, stop the engine
and correct the problem before operating your Lastec Mower.
