•
Debris can accumulate anywhere on
the mower, especially on horizontal
surfaces. Additional cleaning may
be necessary when mowing in dry
conditions or when mulching.
•
Fuel leaks/spills, oil leaks/spills and
excess lubrication can also become
collection sites for debris. Immediate
repair and cleaning up oil or fuel spills
can help reduce fire hazards.
•
In addition to cleaning the mower
before operating and storing, do not
attempt to mow unusually tall grass
(10" or higher), dry grass (e.g., pasture)
or piles of dry leaves. Dry grass or
leaves may contact the engine exhaust
and/or build up on the mower deck
presenting a potential fire hazard.

Do not attempt to modify or repair the GPM.
