LUBRICATION CHART

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 maintain 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 filter, and check blades and belts for wear. A new spark plug and clean air filter assure proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better and last longer.

Another notable feature includes the ease of maintenance. The mower is designed with a washout port that makes cleaning the cutting deck a straightforward task, prolonging the equipment's lifespan and maintaining optimal performance. Additionally, the LTH1742 offers a variety of accessories, enabling users to customize their mower for different tasks, such as mulching or bagging.
