PRE-STARTING
INSTRUCTIONS
Please read and carry out the
following pre-starting instructions
and procedures before starting the
tractor engine and using your
equipment.
1. Be sure the engine has been
filled with the proper type and
amount of motor oil. Check the
oil level by removing the engine
dipstick on top of the engine (see
Assembly Step 8 in Section 2).
2. Check for any oil or fluid leaks
on the tractor or on the ground.

Any leaks must be attended to be­
fore starting your equipment. See
your Authorized Dealer for assis­
tance if needed.
3. Check the battery electrolyte
level. Fill any cells that are below
the full mark with distilled water.

mended. Clean up any spills. DO
