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.
AIR FILTER
Your engine will not run properly using
a dirty air fi lter. Service air cleaner more
often under dusty conditions. See Engine
Manual.
ENGINE OIL FILTER
Replace the engine oil fi lter every season
or every other oil change if the tractor is
used more than 100 hours in one year.
CLEAN AIR INTAKE/COOL ING AREAS
To insure proper cooling, make sure the
grass screen, cooling fi ns, and other
external surfaces of the engine are kept
clean at all times.
Every 100 hours of operation (more often
under extremely dusty, dirty conditions),
remove the blower housing and other
cooling shrouds. Clean the cooling fi ns
and external surfaces as necessary. Make
sure the cooling shrouds are re in stalled.
NOTE:
Operating the engine with a
blocked grass screen, dirty or plugged
cooling fi ns, and/or cooling shrouds
re moved will cause engine damage due to
overheating.
