GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this riding mower does not
cover items that have been subjected to
operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, operator must
maintain riding mower as instructed in this
manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made
periodically to properly maintain your riding
mower,
At least once a season, check to see if
you should make any of the adjustments
described in the Service and Adjustments
section of this manual.
- At least once a year you should replace
the spark plug, clean or replace air filter,
and check blade and belt for wear. A new
spark plug and clean airfilter assure proper
air-fuel mixture and help your engine run
better and last longer.
BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Check brake operation.
3. Check tire pressure.
4. Check operator presence and
ROS systems for proper operation.
5. Check for loose fasteners.
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the pivot
points which have special nylon bearings.
Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt
that willshorten the life of the self-lubricating
bearings, lfyou feel they must be lubricated,
use only a dry, powdered graphite type
lubricant sparingly.
