CPSC, Exmark Recalls Lazer HP Riding Mowers

PRODUCT: Lawn Mowers Exmark Manufacturing of Beatrice, Nebraska is voluntarily
recalling about 1500 riding lawn mowers. The 20 horsepower mowers are as follows:

Model
Serial
Range
Description

LHP4420KC
320,000-369,999
20 hp 44 cut zero-turn radius mower
LHP4820KC
320,000-369,999
20 hp 48 cut zero-turn radius mower
LHP5220KC
320,000-369,999
20 hp 52 cut zero-turn radius mower

The model and serial number can be found on an aluminum plate riveted to the unit chassis
below and to the rear of the deck lift lever pivot point on the right side of the unit. Authorized
Exmark dealers sold these mowers nationwide from August 2001 through August 2002, for
between $6,600 and $7,000.

PROBLEM: The engines for these products had fuel lines that were too long and could possibly
droop and come in contact with moving parts that can cut the fuel lines resulting in fuel leakage.

INCIDENTS/INJURIES: Exmark has received two reports of fuel leaks with no reports of fires
or injuries.

WHAT TO DO: Consumers should stop using their lawn mowers until the fuel lines can be
shortened. Registered owners should already have received a letter with enclosed instruction
sheet and reply card for this modification. For a copy of an instruction sheet detailing the
modification or for a free repair, contact your Exmark dealer or call Exmark at (800) 638-9788
between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. CT Monday through Friday. No parts are necessary for this
modification.
