What do you do when the exhaust blows in the operator’s face?

The machine you are using is an Old style. You can purchase a new deck, chain guard and coupling guard. Dismount the engine and transmission and remount them on the new deck. It should solve the problem. And as always, if you need further help, please contact us. We'll be happy to help you.



What do you do if your chain falls off?

1. Check all sprockets and verify that teeth are pointed, not rounded. If rounded, replace sprockets. If sprockets are fine, loosen setscrews on drive sprocket located on the transmission shaft. 2. Push sprocket toward transmission causing the chain to be in an angled position. 3. Put transmission shifter in neutral and push machine forward and backward. The drive sprocket will self-align. 4. Lock in setscrews and chain should be in alignment with all sprockets. If it is still falling off, replace chain as it is probably elongated. The problem should be solved.
