GENERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this tractor does not cover items that have
been subjected
to operator
abuse or negligence.
To
receive full value from the warranty, operator must maintain
tractor as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments
will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your tractor.
All adjustments in the Sewice and Adjustments section of
this manual should be checked at least once each season.
Once a year you should replace the spark plug, clean
or replace air filter, and check blades and belts for
wear.
A new spark plug and clean air filter assure
proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better
and last longer.
