Follow implicitly the engine manufacturer's recommendations for maintenance.

Always keep your machine clean - especially the engine deck. Check all adjustments periodically. Also,
periodically check that all fasteners are secure. Remember, sharp blades cut better. Always have an extra
set on hand. After re-sharpening blades, be certain they are checked for balance. Do not use blades out of
balance. Before doing any of these, check your safety and assembly instructions.

Never make any adjustments to the unit until the engine is off and the spark plug wire is disconnected.

If carburetor adjustment is necessary, stand to one side and keep feet and hands in the clear while making
adjustments.
