LAWN MOWER

Always observe safety rules when performing any main-
te nance.
TIRES
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control chem i-
cals which can harm rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and
other hazards that may cause tire damage.

DRIVE WHEELS

Check rear drive wheels each time you mow to be sure they
move freely. The wheels not turning freely means trash,
grass cuttings, etc., may be inside the drive wheel and dust
cover area and must be cleaned out to free drive wheels.
If necessary to clean drive wheels, check both rear wheels.

a bent or dam aged blade.
