items that have been subjectedto operator
abuse or negligence. To receive full value
from the warranty, operator must maintain
tractoras instructedin this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made
pedbeically to properly maintain your
tractor.

Adjustments section of this manual should
be checked at least once each season.

spark plug and clean air filter assure
proper air-fuel mixture and help your
engine run better and last longer.

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