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.
Ail adjustments in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manuai should
be checked at least once each season.
* Once a year you should replace the
spark plug, clean or replace air fitter, 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.

tTREFER TO Maintenance "ENGINE" 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-lubricat­
ing bearings. If you feel they must be
lubricated, use only a dry, powdered
graphite type lubricant sparingly.
