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 automotive 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.

IN-LINE FUEL FILTER (See Fig. 16)

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

filter becomes clogged, obstructing fuel flow to carburetor,

replacement is required.

• With engine cool, remove filter and plug fuel line sec-

tions.

• Place new fuel filter in position in fuel line with arrow

pointing towards carburetor.

• Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are

properly positioned.

• Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline.
