winter care--battery
1.
If
Tractor is
not used regularly
during
winter
months,
the
battery
should
be
removed and
stored
in
a
cool,
dry place above 50° F.
2. Battery should not be placed d irectly
on
cement
as this will
drain
the
battery.
3. If Tractor
is
used only
infrequently
during winter
months,
check
battery at
least
once
each
thirty
days
to
be sure a full charge is maintained.
4. A battery not
fully
charged can freeze, resulting
in
the necessity
to replace.
5.
A
safe
rule
is
to charge the
battery
monthly or
at least test and recharge if below
1.225
specific
gravity.
6. Recharge to bring
the specific
gravity to normal
before replacing it
in
the
Tractor
after storage.
PI ease
remember the
necessity
of
proper
winter care
for the battery. Batteries not
in
use for several
months and
not
kept
fully
charged, produce a sul-
phation
of the
plates
which cannot be removed by
recharging.

engine to run out
of
gasoline. Gasoline left

will leave gum deposits and con-
densation
in
the carburetor and fuel
tank. Th
is
makes fuel system inoperative and will result
in
hard
or non-starting of the
engine.
2. Lubricate cylinder by removing the
spark

Pour one ounce of clean lubricating oil through
the
spark plug
hole
into the cylinder.
Crank

does
your air

engine.
Cleaning and
adjustment
of
the

of the spark plug
and ignition
points
is made necessary by NORMAL
use.

3. A yearly check-up or tune-up
by Sears
is
a good
