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.
Some
adjustments
will need to be made
periodically
to properly
maintain
your
tractor.
At least once a season,
check to see if
you should
make any of the adjustments
described
in the Service
and Adjustments
section
of this manual.
• At least once a year you should
replace
the spark plug, clean
or replace
air filter,
and check
blades
and belts for wear.
A new spark plug and clean
air filter
assure
proper
air-fuel
mixture
and help
your engine
run better and last longer.
BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check
engine
oil level.
2.
Check
brake
operation.
3.
Check
tire pressure.
4.
Check
operator
presence
and
ROS systems
for proper
operation.
5.
Check
for loose fasteners.

IMPORTANT:
Do not oil or grease
the
pivot points which
have special
nylon
bearings.
Viscous
lubricants
will attract
dust and dirt that will shorten
the life of the
self-lubricating
bearings.
If you feel they
must be lubricated,
use only a dry, pow-
dered graphite
type lubricant
sparingly.
