CLEAN AIR SCREEN

Air screen must be kept free of dirt and chaff to prevent engine damage from overheating. Clean with a wire brush or compressed air to remove dirt and stubborn dried gum ﬁ bers.

AIR FILTER

Your engine will not run properly using a dirty air ﬁ lter. Service air cleaner more often under dusty conditions. See Engine Manual.

ENGINE OIL FILTER

Replace the engine oil ﬁ lter every season or every other oil change if the tractor is used more than 100 hours in one year.

MUFFLER

Inspect and replace corroded mufﬂ er and spark arrester (if equipped) as it could create a ﬁ re hazard and/or dam- age.

SPARK PLUGS

Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing season or after every 100 hours of operation, whichever occurs ﬁ rst. Spark plug type and gap setting are shown in “PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS” section of this manual.

IN-LINE FUEL FILTER (See Fig. 14)

The fuel ﬁ lter should be replaced once each season. If fuel

ﬁlter becomes clogged, obstructing fuel ﬂ ow to carburetor, replacement is required.

•With engine cool, remove ﬁ lter and plug fuel line sec- tions.

•Place new fuel ﬁ lter 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.

FUEL FILTER

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

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

•Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax.

We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans- mission are covered to keep water out. Water in engine or transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor. Use compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass, leaves and trash from tractor and mower.
