in this
manual.
Some
adjustments
will need to be made
periodically

maintain
your
tractor.
At least once a season,
check

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