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 main tain tractor 
as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically 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 fi lter, and check blades and belts for wear.  
A new spark plug and clean air fi lter 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.
•      Check for loose fasteners.
