GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

from the warranty, operator must maintain tractor as instructed in this manual,

Some adjustments will need to be made pe- riodically to properly maintain your tractor. At least once a season, check to see if you should make any of the adjustments

described in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual.

•At least 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 en- gine run better and last longer.

General Purpose Grease

(_) Refer to Maintenance "ENGINE" Section

IMPORTANT: Do not oilor grease the pivot

points which have special nylon bearings. Viscous lubricants will attract dust and dirt

that will shorten the life of the self-lubricating bearings. If you feel they must be lubricated, use only a dry,, powdered graphite type lu- bricant sparingly.
