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 main tain
tractor as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your tractor.
At least once a season, check to see if you should
make any of the adjustments described in the Service
and Adjustments section of this manual.
