CLEANING

MUFFLER

Inspect and replace corroded muffler and

spark arrester (if equipped) as it could create a fire hazard and/or damage.

SPARK PLUG(S)

Replace spark plug(s) at the beginning of each mowing season or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs first. Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual.

IN-LINE FUEL FILTER

The fuel filter should be replaced once each season. If fuel filter becomes

clogged, obstructing fuel flow to carbure- tor, replacement is required.

1.With engine cool, remove filter and plug fuel line sections.

2.Place new fuel filter in position in fuel line with arrow pointing towards carburetor.

3.Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are properly positioned.

4.Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline.

CLEANING

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

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

•Protect painted surfaces with automo- tive type wax.

We do not recommend using a garden

hose to clean your tractor unless the electrical system, muffler, air filter and

carburetor are covered to keep water out. Water in engine can result in a shortened engine life.
