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 opera-
tion.
5. Check for loose fasteners.

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 self-lubricating
bearings.
If you feel
they must be lubricated,
use only a dry,
powdered
graphite
type lubricant
sparingly.
