VI. PRE-OPERATIONAL ROUTINE INSPECTION
It is essential for avoiding accidents or breakdown during operation to keep the lawn mower in goon condition. The

2. WAY OF INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Refer to the section of “MAINTENANCE.”
WARNING: Before inspection, be sure to
park the lawn mower on a level and hard
ground, stop the engine, lower the mower
deck onto the ground, remove key from the
