If possible, do not perform maintenance on the

run the engine to perform maintenance on the
machine, keep your hands, feet, other body parts,
and clothing away from all moving parts, the
mower-discharge area, and the underside of the

Carefully release pressure from components with
stored energy.

If your machine requires major repairs or if you
