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.
All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of this
manual should be checked at least once each season.
•
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
interlock systems for proper operation.
•
Check for loose fasteners.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT OIL OR GREASE THE PIVOT POINTS
WHICH HAVE SPECIAL NYLON BEARINGS. VISCOUS LUBRI-
CANTS WILL ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT THAT WILL SHORTEN
THE LIFE OF THE SELF-LUBRICATING BEARINGS. IF YOU
FEEL THEY MUST BE LUBRICATED, USE ONLY A DRY, POW-
DERED GRAPHITE TYPE LUBRICANT SPARINGLY.
