MUFFLER
Inspect and replace corroded muffl er and
spark arrester (if equipped) as it could cre-
ate a fi re hazard and/or dam age.
SPARK PLUG(S)
Replace spark plug(s) at the beginning
of each mowing season or after every
100 hours of operation, whichever occurs
fi rst. Spark plug type and gap setting are
shown in “PROD UCT SPEC I FI CA TIONS”
section of this manual.
CLEAN AIR SCREEN
Air screen must be kept free of dirt and
chaff to prevent engine dam age from
overheating. Clean with a wire brush or
compressed air to re move dirt and stub-
born dried gum fi bers.
CLEANING
• Clean engine, battery, seat, fi nish, etc.
of all foreign matter.
• Keep fi nished surfaces and wheels free
of all gasoline, oil, etc.
• Protect painted surfaces with au to -
mo tive type wax.
We do not recommend using a garden
hose or pressure washer to clean your
tractor unless the engine and transmis-
sion are covered to keep water out. Water
in engine or transmission will shorten the
useful life of your tractor. Use compressed
air or a leaf blower to remove grass,
leaves and trash from tractor and mower.
