Maintenance - Ryobi RYRM8003 Manuel D'utilisation

 Park the mower on a level surface.
 Raise the cutting deck to the highest position.
 Position and secure ramp to the trailer according to
manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: We recommend you use one full width loading
ramp that is at least 1 ft. wider than the mower to minimize
the risk of the mower's wheels going off the side of the
ramp.
 Slowly back the mower onto the ramp and into the trailer.
 Lower mower deck completely.
WARNING:
Before performing any maintenance, stop the mower on
a level surface, wait for the blades to come to a complete
stop, set the parking brake, and remove the start key to
avoid accidental starting and possible serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only authorized replacement parts.
Use of any other parts can create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Strictly adhere to all torque wrench tightening specifica-
tions. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury.

WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic which can result in serious personal injury.
Remove any build-up of grass and leaves on or around the
motor cover. Wipe the mower clean with a dry cloth occa-
sionally. Do not use water.
ADJUSTING CUTTING DECK WHEELS
See Figure 18.
The cutting deck wheels should be positioned approximately
1/2 in. off the ground when the mower is at the desired cutting
height. This will minimize the chance of scalping the lawn in
most situations. When shipped, the wheels are positioned
in Position A.
To adjust the cutting deck wheels:
 Park the mower on a level surface and set the parking
brake.
