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 fi lter, and check blades and 
belts for wear.  A new spark plug and clean air fi lter 
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.
