WARNING
Never store engine with fuel in tank indoors
or in poorly ventilated enclosures, where fuel
fumes may reach an open flame, spark or
pilot light as on a furnace, water heater,
clothes dryer, etc.
1. Remove all gasoline from fuel tank to prevent
gum deposits from forming on these parts and
causing possible malfunction of engine.
Run engine until engine starts to falter, then use
choke to continue engine operation until all fuel in
tank and carburetor is exhausted. Remove fuel
line at tank or carburetor and drain any remaining
gasoline from system.
WARNING
Drain fuel into approved container outdoors,
away from open flame.
Fuel left in engine during warm weather
deteriorates and will cause serious starting
problems.

engine oil through spark plug hole into cylinder.
Crank engine several times to distribute oil.
Replace spark plug.

Clean
the
engine
and
the
entire
tractor
thoroughly.

machine with an oiled rag in order to protect the
surfaces.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES
When you purchased your tractor, you probably had it
completely equipped for your particular needs at the
time. However, later you may wish to obtain optional
equipment or accessories. These items and other
allied equipment can be purchased from, and installed
by, your authorized dealer.
The tractor is used for so many different types of work,
and because it is called on to operate under so many
different conditions, a variety of equipment is available
to adapt it to the requirements of the user. Refer to
equipment catalog.
