MAINTENANCE
TRACTOR
Always observe safety rules when per form ing any
main te nance.
BRAKE OPERATION
If tractor requires more than five (5) feet to stop at highest
speed in high est gear on a level, dry concrete or paved
surface, then brake must be checked and ad just ed. (See
“TO CHECK BRAKE” in the Ser vice and Ad just ments
section of this manual).
TIRES
• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires (See the sides
of tires for proper PSI).
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect control
chemi cals which can harm rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp objects and
other hazards that may cause tire damage.
NOTE:
To seal tire punctures and pre vent flat tires due
to slow leaks, tire sealant may be purchased from your
local parts dealer. Tire sealant also pre vents tire dry rot
and corrosion.
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYS TEM AND REVERSE
OPERATION SYSTEM (ROS) (See Fig. 13)

BATTERY
Your tractor has a battery charging system which is suf fi cient
for normal use. However, periodic charging of the battery
with an automotive charger will extend its life.
• Keep battery and terminals clean.
• Keep battery bolts tight.
• Keep small vent holes open.
• Recharge at 6-10 amperes for 1 hour.
NOTE:
The original equipment battery on your tractor is main-
tenance free. Do not attempt to open or remove caps or cov-
ers. Adding or checking level of electrolyte is not necessary.
TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS
Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause
the battery to “leak” power.
• Disconnect BLACK battery cable first then RED bat-
tery cable and remove battery from tractor.
• Rinse the battery with plain water and dry.
•
Clean terminals and battery cable ends with wire brush
until bright.
• Coat terminals with grease or petroleum jelly.
•
Reinstall battery (See “REPLACING BATTERY" in the
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section of this man u al).
