GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this tractor does not cover
items that have been subjected to operator
abuse or negligence.
To receive full value
from the warranty, operator must maintain
tractor as instructed in this manual. Some
adjustments will need to be made periodi-
cally to properly maintain your tractor.
All adjustments
in the Service and
Adjustments
section
of this manual
should
be checked
at least once each season.
• Once a year you should
replace the
spark plug, clean or replace
air filter, and
check blades and belts for wear. A new
spark plug and clean air filter assure
proper air-fuel mixture and help your
engine run better and last longer.
BEFORE
EACH
USE
• Check engine oil level.
• Check engine coolant level.
• Check brake operation.
• Check tire pressure.
• Check operator presence
and interlock
systems for proper operation.
• Check for loose fasteners.

MPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the pivot
points wh ch have special nylon bearings.
Viscous lubricants will attract dust and d rt that
will shorten the life of the self-lubricating bear-
ings. If you feel they must be lubricated, use
only a dry, powdered graphite type lubricant
