GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Some adjustments will need to be made periedically to properly maintain your tractor.

All adjustments in the Service and

Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.

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-fuelmixture and help your engine run better and last longer.

IMPORTANT: Do not oil or 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 lubricant sparingly.
