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
periodically
to properly
maintain
your
tractor.
At least once
a season,
check to see if
you should
make any of the adjustments
described
in the Service
and Adjustments
section
of this manual.
• At least 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
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Check brake operation.
3. Check tire pressure.
4. Check operator presence and
interlock systems for proper operation.
5. Check for loose fasteners.
3 = Replace
blades
more
often
when
mowing
in sandy
soil
4 = Not required
if equipped
with maintenance-free
battery.
5 = Tighten
front
axle pivol
bolt to 35 ft.-Ibs,
maximum.
Do not overtighten.

IMPORTANT:
Do not oil or grease the
pivot points which have special nylon
bearings.
Viscous lubricants wilt attract
dust and dirt that wilt shorten the life of the
self-lubricating
bearings.
If you feet they
must be lubricated, use only a dry, pow-
dered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
