Cleaning The Engine

This tractor has an air-cooled engine. Air must be able to circulate freely around the engine through the flywheel screen, through the cooling shrouds and over the fins of the cylinder head and cylinder block. Keep these areas free of accumulated dirt and debris or the engine will overheat; possibly causing extensive engine damage. Regularly clean the inside of the side panels, dash intake screen and grille to ensure adequate cooling. If debris has accumulated inside the cooling shrouds, the blower housing and cooling shrouds should be removed and the cooling fins cleaned.

WARNING: This machine is designed to cool properly with the side panels in place. Operating without the panels

could cause premature accumulation of dirt and debris on the engine, resulting in inadequate cooling.

WARNING: Keep the muffler area clean. Before running the engine, clean the muffler area to remove all combustible debris. Inspect the muffler area often when mowing during the Fall season

Before each use, the oil level of the engine crankcase should be checked to see that it is filled to the correct level. Close monitoring of the oil level during the first 10 hours of operation of the engine is especially important and the oil level should be checked EVERY HOUR during the first five hours of operation.
