ENGINE OiL FILTER
Replace the engine oil filter every season
or every other oil change if the tractor is
used more than 100 hours in one year.
AiR FILTER
Your engine will not run properly using
a dirty air filter. Service air cleaner more
often under dusty conditions. See engine
manual.
CLEAN AIR SCREEN
The air screen is over the air intake blower
located on top of engine.
The air screen
must be kept free of dirt and chaff to prevent
engine damage from overheating. Clean with
a wire brush or compressed
air to remove
dirt and stubborn dried gum fibers.
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM
To ensure proper cooling, make sure the
grass screen, cooling fins, and other exter-
nal surfaces of the engine are kept clean
at all times.
Every 100 hours of operation (more often
under extremely
dusty, dirty conditions),
remove the blower housing and other cooling
shrouds. Clean the cooling fins and external
surfaces as necessary. Ensure the cooling
shrouds are reinstalled.
NOTE: Operating the engine with a blocked
grass screen, dirty or plugged cooling fins,
and/or cooling shrouds removed wilt cause
engine damage due to overheating.
MUFFLER
inspect and replace corroded muffler and
spark arrester (if equipped) as it could cre-
ate a fire hazard and/or damage.
SPARK PLUG(S)
Replace spark plug(s) at the beginning
of each mowing season or after every
100 hours of operation, whichever occurs
first. Spark plug type and gap setting are
shown in "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS"
section of this manual.
IN=LINE FUEL FILTER

season.
If fuel filter becomes clogged, ob-
structing fuel flow to carburetor, replacement

Keep finished surfaces and wheels free

Protect painted surfaces with automotive
type wax.
Except for the washout port (if equipped),
we do not recommend using a garden hose
or pressure washer to clean the outside of
your tractor unless the engine and transmis-
sion are covered to keep water out. Water
in engine or transmission
will shorten the
useful life of your tractor. Use compressed
air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves
and trash from outside tractor and mower.
