TRACTOR
Always observe safety rules when performing
any maintenance.
BRAKE OPERATION
If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to
stop at highest speed in highest gear on a
level, dry concrete
or paved surface, then
brake must be serviced.
(See "TO CHECK
BRAKE"
in the Service
and Adjustments
section of this manual).
TIRES
• Maintain
proper air pressure
in all tires
(See the sides of tires for proper PSI).
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect
control chemicals which can harm rubber.
• Avoid stumps,
stones, deep ruts, sharp
objects and other hazards that may cause
tire damage.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures
and prevent
flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant may
be purchased from your local parts dealer.
Tire sealant also prevents
tire dry rot and
corrosion.
