GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The warranty on this tractor does not cover items that have been subjected to

operator abuse or negligence. To receive full value from the warranty,

operator must maintain tractor as instructed in this manual.

periodically to properly maintain your tractor.

All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of this manual should be checked at least once each season.

longer.

•Check engine oil level.

•Check brake operation.

•Check tire pressure.

•Check operator presence and interlock systems for proper operation.

ing bearings. If you feel they must be lubricated use only a dry, powdered

graphite type lubricant sparing y.
