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.

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.

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.
