Check Tines

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
1. Stop engine, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove key. Engage parking brake.
2. Lift the rear of the unit and support using jack
stands or equivalent support.
CAUTION
Raising the unit for service or maintenance
relying solely on mechanical or hydraulic
jacks could be dangerous. The mechanical
or hydraulic jacks may not be enough
support or may malfunction allowing the
unit to fall, which could cause injury.
Do Not rely solely on mechanical or
hydraulic jacks for support. Use adequate
jack stands or equivalent support.

the machine, especially under the chain guards,
around the fuel tank, around engine and
exhaust area.

Check Safety Interlock System

Service Interval: Before each use or daily
CAUTION
If safety interlock switches are disconnected or
damaged the machine could operate
unexpectedly causing personal injury.
 Do not tamper with the interlock switches.
 Check the operation of the interlock
switches daily and replace any damaged
switches before operating the machine.
Understanding the Safety Interlock System
The safety interlock system is designed to prevent
the engine from starting unless the motion control
levers are in the neutral position.
Checking the Safety Interlock System
1. Disconnect the spark plug wires.
2. Hold one motion control lever in the forward
position.
3. Turn the key to the start position – the starter
must not crank.
Note: If the machine does not pass this test, do
not operate. Contact your authorized LAWN
SOLUTIONS DEALER.
Important: It is essential that the operator
safety mechanisms be connected and in
proper operating condition prior to use for
aerating.
