MAINTENANCE

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.

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 sea- son or after every 100 hours of use, whichever comes fi rst. Spark plug type and gap setting is shown in "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS" section of this manual.

CLEANING

•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.
