CARE AND MAINTENANCE
• The grass catcher components, discharge cover, and trail shield are subject to wear and damage,
which could expose moving parts or allow objects to be thrown. As a safety precaution, check

are cracked or broken. Use original equipment manufacturer's (OEM) parts only, as listed in this
manual.
• When it is not in use, store the mower indoors in a dry area, and out of the reach of children.
