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.

your engine run better and last longer.

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.
