MUFFLER

Inspect and replace corroded muffl er and spark arrester (if equipped) as it could create a fi re hazard and/or dam- age.

SPARK PLUGS

IN-LINE FUEL FILTER (See Fig. 14)

CLEANING

•Clean engine, battery, seat, fi nish, etc. of all foreign matter.

•Keep fi nished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline, oil, etc.

•Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.

We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans- mission are covered to keep water out. Water in engine or transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor. Use compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves and trash from tractor and mower.
