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 main tain 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 fi lter, and check blades and belts 
for wear.  A new spark plug and clean air fi lter assure 
proper air-fuel mixture and help your engine run better 
and last longer.

BEFORE EACH USE

•      Check engine oil level.
•      Check brake operation.
•      Check tire pressure.
•      Check operator presence and 
       ROS systems for proper operation.
•      Check for loose fasteners.
