GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tractor does not cover items that have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To receive

fult 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 trac- tor.

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.

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 tife of the

self-lubricating bearings. If you feet they must be lubricated, use onty a dry, pow- dered graphite type lubricant sparingly.
