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. Checkengineoilwithtractoronlevelground.
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
"FULl"
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.
Purchasefuel
in quantitiesthat
can be used within 30 days to assure fuel
freshness.
_IbOAUTION:
Wipe
off any spilled
oil or
fuel.
Do not store,

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 15
or permanent
damage
may occur.
TO
