TOWING
CARTS
AND OTHER
ATTACH-
MENTS
Tow only the attachments
that are recom-
mended by and comply with specifications
of the manufacturer
of your tractor.
Use
common sense when towing. Too heavy of
a load, while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires
can lose traction with the ground and cause
you to lose control of your tractor.
BEFORE
STARTING
THE ENGINE
CHECK
ENGINE
OIL
LEVEL
The engine in your tractor has been shipped,
from the factory, already filled with summer
weight oil.
1. Check engine oil with tractor on level
ground.
2. Remove
oil fill cap/dipstick
and wipe
clean, reinsert the dipstick and screw cap
tight, wait for a few seconds, remove and
read oil level.
If necessary,
add oil until
"FULE' mark on dipstick is reached.
Do
not overfill.
For cold weather operation you should
change oil for easier starting (See the oil
viscosity chart in the Maintenance section
of this manual).
To change engine oil, see the Mainte-
nance section in this manual.
ADD
GASOLINE
Fill fuel tank to bottom
of filler
neck.
Do
not overfill.
Use fresh,
clean,
regular
unleaded
gasoline
with
a minimum
of
87 octane.
(Use of leaded
gasoline
will
increase
carbon
and lead oxide deposits
and reduce
valve life). Do not mix oil with
gasoline.
Purchase
fuel in quantitiesthat
can be used within 30 days to assure
fuel
freshness.
,_,CAUTION:
Wipe
off any
spilled
oil or
fuel.
Do not store,
spill or use gasoline
near
an open flame.
IMPORTANT:
When
operating
in tempera-
tures below32°F(0°C),
use fresh, clean winter
grade
gasoline
to help
insure
good
cold
weather
starting.
CAUTION:
Alcohol
blended
fuels
(called
gasohol
or using
ethanol
or methanol)
can
attract
moisture
which
leads
to separation
and formation
of acids during storage.
Acidic
gas can damage
the fuel system
of an engine
while in storage.
To avoid engine
problems,
the fuel
system
should
be emptied
before
storage
of 30 days or longer.
Drain the gas
tank,
start the engine
and let it run until the
fuel lines and carburetor
are empty. Use fresh
fuel next season.
See Storage
Instructions
for additional
information.
Never use engine
or carburetor
cleaner
products
in the fuel tank
or permanent
damage
may occur.
