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.
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 brake operation.
• Check tire pressure.
• Check operator presence and
interlock systems for proper operation.

pivot points which have special nylon
beatings. Viscous lubricants will attract

they must be lubncated, use only a dry,
powdered graphite type lubricant
sparingly.
