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.

interlock systems for proper operation.

IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the
pivot points which have special nylon
bear-tags. Viscous lubricants will attract
dust and dirt that will shorten the life of
the self-lubricating bearings. If you feet
they must be lubricated, use only a dry,
powdered graphite type lubricant
sparingly.
