GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

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 periodi­
cally to properly maintain your tractor.

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

cant sparingly.
