GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance and adjustment of your hydro mower is necessary to keep the mower in good and safe condi-
tion. The maintenance of the mower is the responsibility of the owner/operator and must be performed at
regular intervals. When replacing any parts or servicing your mower, be sure to use only genuine manufacturer’s
replacement parts to assure quality and performance of your mower.
DANGER: BEFORE MAKING ANY ADJUSTMENTS AND/OR SERVICING YOUR MOWER, MAKE
SURE THE MOWER IS ON LEVEL GROUND, BLADES DISENGAGED, KEY REMOVED, AND THE
ENGINE OFF WITH THE SPARK PLUG WIRE(S) REMOVED FROM THE SPARK PLUGS(S) AND
HIDDEN TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL CONTACT. IF ADJUSTMENT OR MAINTENANCE IS BEING
PERFORMED AFTER OPERATION OF THE MOWER, ALLOW THE UNIT TO COOL SINCE HEAT
BUILD UP COULD CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
