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 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
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Check brake operation.
3. Check tire pressure.
4. Check operator presence
and
interlock 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 will shorten
the life of
the self-lubricatincj bearings.
If you feel
they must be lubncated, use only a dry,
powdered
graphite type lubricant
sparingly.
