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 periodi­
cally to properly maintain your tractor.
All adjustments in the Service and
Adjustments section of this manual should
be checked at least once each season.
• Once'a year you should replace the
spark plug, clean or replace air filter, and
check blades and belts for wear. A new
spark plug and clean air filter assure
proper air-fuel mixture and help your
engine run better-and last longer.
BEFORE EACH USE
• Check engine oil level.
• Check brake operation.
• Check tire pressure.
• Check operator presence and interlock
systems for proper operation.
• Chec^or loose fasteners.
LUBRICATION CHART
O SAE 30 or 10w30 Motor OIL
@ General Purpose Grease
O Refer to Maintenance ‘‘Errgine’* Section
IMPORTANT: Do not oil or grease the
pivot points which have special nylon bear­
ings. Viscous lubricants will attract dust
and dirt that will shorten the Hfe of the self-
lubricating bearings. If you feel they must
be lubricated; use only a dry, powdered
graphite type lubricant sparingly.
