BEFORE
EACH
USE
1. Check
engine
oil level.
2.
Check
brake operation.
3.
Check
tire pressure.
4.
Check
operator
presence
and
interlock
systems
for proper
operation.
5.
Check
for loose fasteners.
IMPORTANT:
Do not oil or grease
the
pivot points which
have special
nylon
bearings.
Viscous
lubricants
will attract
dust and dirt that will shorten
the life of the
self-lubricating
bearings.
If you feel they
must be lubricated,
use only a dry, pow-
dered graphite
type lubricant
sparingly.
