The illustrations and data used in this manual were current at the time of printing, but the deck may vary slightly due to ongoing engineering changes. Lastec reserves the right to implement engineering and design changes to the deck as may be necessary without prior notification.
Safety is a primary concern in the design and manufacture of all Lastec products. Unfor- tunately, our extensive efforts to provide safe equipment can be negated by a single care- less act of an operator.
Verify that the deck is properly mounted, set up, adjusted, and in good operating condition. Always perform the pre-operation equipment inspection and the appropriate mainte- nance schedule (Section 5) before operating the deck. Do not change the engine governor settings or over-speed the engine. Lastec//020515 Safety Information...
