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.

Adjustments section of this manual should
be checked at least once each season.

engine run better and last longer.

interlock systems for proper operation.

powdered graphite type lubricant
