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.

•  At least 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

•  Check engine oil level.
•  Check brake operation.
•  Check tire pressure.
•  Check operator presence and 
 

ROS systems for proper operation.

•  Check for loose fasteners.
