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 pe-
riodically
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 en-
gine run better and last longer.

2,
Check brake operation,
3,
Check tire pressure.

Check operator
presence
and
ROS systems
for proper operation.

(_) Refer to Maintenance "ENGINE" Section
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,, powdered
graphite
type lu-
bricant sparingly.
