cover items that have been subjected to Zerk
operator abuse or negligence. To

Some adjustments will need to be made Bearing
periodically to properly maintain your Zerk
tractor.
All adjustments in the Service 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.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Check engine oil level.
• Check brake operation.

_)REFER TO Maintenance "ENGINE" SECTION
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the
pivot points which have special nylon
bearings. Viscous lubricants will attract
dust and dirt that will shorten the life of
the serf-lubricating bearings. If you feel
they must be lubn'cated, use only a dry,
powdered graphite type lubricant
sparingly.
