Exmark parts could cause serious injury or
death. Making unauthorized changes to the
engine or fuel system, may violate EPA and
CARB regulations.

hoses and lines are in good condition and all
hydraulic connections and fittings are tight
before applying pressure to hydraulic system.
• Keep body and hands away from pinhole
leaks or nozzles that eject high pressure
hydraulic fluid.
• Use cardboard or paper, not your hands, to
find hydraulic leaks.
