ENGINE

IMPORTANT: A separate Engine Manual,
prepared by the engine manufacturer, is
supplied with this tractor. Read the engine
manual carefully until you are familiar with the
operation and maintenance of the engine.
Proper attention to the engine manufacturer's
directions will assure maximum service life of
the engine. To order replacement engine
manuals contact the engine manufacturer.
The proper break-in of a new engine can make a
considerable difference to the performance and life
of the engine.
Note: The tractor is designed to operate and cut
most efficiently at the preset governor setting. Do
not change the engine governor settings or
overspeed the engine. During the break-in period,
Textron Turf Care and Specialty Products
recommends the following:
1. During the first 50 hours of operation, a
new engine should be allowed to reach
an operating temperature of at least
140°F (60°C) prior to operation at full
load.
2. Check the engine oil level twice daily
during the first 50 hours of operation.
