o The grass catcher may be hosed with
water, but must be dry when used°
o Check your grass catcher often for damage
or deterioration. Through normal use it will
wear. If catcher needs replacing, replace
only with a manufacturer approved
replacement catcher. Give the lawn mower
model number when ordering.
DRIVE WHEELS
Check front drive wheels each time before
you mow to be sure they move freely.
The wheels not turning freely means trash,
grass cuttings, etc. are in the drive wheel
area and must be cleaned to free drive
wheels.
If necessary to clean the drive wheels,
check both front wheels.

washers.
Remove wheels from wheel adjusters.
o Remove any trash or grass cuttings from
inside the dust cover, pinion and/or drive
wheel gear teeth.
o Put wheels back in placer
. If after cleaning, the drive wheels do not
turn freely, contact your nearest
authorized service center.

o To keep your drive system working
properly, the gear case and area around
the drive should be kept clean and free
of trash build-up,, Clean under the drive
cover twice a season.
o The gear case is filled with lubricant to
the proper level at the factory_ The only
time the lubricant needs attention is if
service has been performed on the gear
case,
