MAINTENANCE
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 automotive type wax.
We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure
washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans-
mission 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.

The fuel fi lter should be replaced once each season. If fuel
fi lter becomes clogged, ob struct ing fuel fl ow to car bu re tor,
re place ment is re quired.
• With engine cool, remove fi lter and plug fuel line sec-
tions.
• Place new fuel fi lter in position in fuel line with arrow
pointing towards carburetor.
• Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are
properly positioned.
• Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline.
