BLADE MOUNTING TORQUE
Center Bolt: 450 in. tbs. min., 600 in. Ibs. max.;
To ensure safe operation of your unit, all nuts and bolts must be checked periodically for correct tightness.
DECK
The underside of the mower deck should be cleaned after each use to prevent a buildup of grass clippings, leaves,
dirt or other matter. If this debris is allowed to accumulate, it will invite rust and corrosion, and may cause an uneven
discharge of grass clippings.
The deck may be cleaned by tilting the mower and scraping clean with a suitable tool (make certain the spark plug
wire is disconnected, the fuel tank is empty or sealed, and the air filter and carburetor are away from the ground).
