REPAIRING SHIELDING
Full chain, rubber, or steel band shielding must
be installed when operating in populated areas or
other areas where thrown objects could injure peo-
ple or damage property.
• If this machine is not equipped with full chain,
rubber, or steel band shielding, operation must
be stopped when anyone comes within 300 feet
(92 m).
• This shielding is designed to reduce the risk
of thrown objects. The mower deck and protec-
tive devices cannot prevent all objects from
escaping the blade enclosure in every mowing
condition.
It is possible for objects to ricochet
and escape, traveling as much as 300 feet (92 m).
Repairing Front Rubber Shield & Rear Band
1. Inspect front rubber shield and rear band each day
of operation.
2. Replace if bent, cracked, or broken.
Repairing Optional Chain Shielding
Inspect chain shielding each day of operation and
replace any broken or missing chains as required.
CLEANING
After Each Use
● Remove large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
● Inspect machine and replace worn or damaged
parts.

Periodically or Before Extended Storage
● Clean large debris such as clumps of dirt, grass,
crop residue, etc. from machine.
● Remove the remainder using a low-pressure water
spray.

safety decals or near edges of decals as water
spray can peel decal off surface.
2. Be careful when spraying near chipped or
scratched paint as water spray can lift paint.
3. If a pressure washer is used, follow the advice
of the pressure washer manufacturer.
