To avoid serious injury, perform maintenance on
the tractor or snowthrower only when the engine is
stopped, parking brake is set and all moving parts
have stopped. Always remove the ignition key
before beginning maintenance or adjustments to
prevent accidental starting of the engine.

MAINTENANCE

In general, linkage connections and other parts that have
partial rotational or sliding movement should be lubricat-
ed periodically with SAE 30 weight oil. Avoid applying
excessive amounts of oil or grease since this may cause
a build-up of dirt around the lubricated area, making sub-
sequent lubrication more difficult to accomplish.
