TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and

comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-

tor. Use common sense when towing. Too heavy of a load,

while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with

the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

SERVICE REMINDER/HOUR METER

Service reminder shows the total number of hours the engine

has run and flashes to indicate that the engine or mower

needs servicing. When service is required, the service

reminder will flash for two hours. To service engine and

mower, see the Maintenance section of this manual.

NOTE: Service reminder runs when the ignition key is in

any position but "STOP". For accurate reading, be sure key

remains in the "STOP" position when engine is not running.
