Muffler
WARNING
Temperature of muffler and nearby engine areas may exceed 150˚ F (65˚C).
Avoid contact with these areas.
•
Inspect muffler periodically, and replace if necessary. Replacement parts
for the muffler must be the same and installed in the same position as the
original parts.
Clean Engine
•
Daily or before every use, clean grass, chaff or accumulated debris from
engine. Keep linkage, spring, and controls clean.
•
Keep area around and behind muffler free of any combustible debris.
•
Keeping engine clean allows air movement around engine.
•
Engine parts should be kept clean to reduce the risk of overheating and
ignition of accumulated debris.
CAUTION
Do not use water to clean engine parts. Water could contaminate fuel
system. Use a brush or dry cloth.
Carburetor Adjustment
•
The carburetor on this engine is not adjustable.
Lubrication
WARNING
Before lubricating, repairing, or inspecting, always disengage PTO (Blade
Engage Lever), move shift lever into neutral position, set parking brake, stop
engine and remove key to prevent unintended starting.
Pivot Points & Linkage
Lubricate all the pivot points on the drive system, parking brake and lift linkage at
least once a season with light oil.
Rear Wheels
The rear wheels should be removed from the axles once a season. Lubricate the
axles and the rims well with an all-purpose grease before re-installing them.
Front Axles
Each end of the tractor's front pivot bar may be equipped with a grease fitting.
Lubricate with a grease gun after every 25 hours of tractor operation.
Battery
The battery is sealed and is maintenance-free. Acid levels cannot be checked.
•
Always keep the battery cables and terminals clean and free of corrosive
build-up.
•
After cleaning the battery and terminals, apply a light coat of petroleum jelly
or grease to both terminals.
•
Always keep the rubber boot positioned over the positive terminal to prevent
shorting.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT: If removing the battery for any reason, disconnect the NEGATIVE
(Black) wire from its terminal first, followed by the POSITIVE (Red) wire. When
re-installing the battery, always connect the POSITIVE (Red) wire to its terminal
first, followed by the NEGATIVE (Black) wire. Be certain that the wires are connected
to the correct terminals; reversing them could change the polarity and result in
damage to your engine's alternating system.
Cleaning Battery
Clean the battery by removing it from the tractor and washing with a baking soda
and water solution. If necessary, scrape the battery terminals with a wire brush to
remove deposits. Coat terminals and exposed wiring with grease or petroleum jelly
to prevent corrosion.
Battery Failures
Some common causes for battery failure are:
•
Incorrect initial activation
•
Overcharging
•
Freezing
•
Undercharging
•
Corroded connections
These failures are NOT covered by your tractor's warranty.
Cleaning the Engine And Deck
Any fuel or oil spilled on the machine should be wiped off promptly. Do NOT allow
debris to accumulate around the cooling fins of the engine or on any other part of
the machine.
IMPORTANT: The use of a pressure washer to clean your tractor is NOT
recommended. It may cause damage to electrical components, spindles, pulleys,
bearings or the engine.

engine.
3.
Thread the hose coupler (packaged with your tractor's Operator's Manual)
onto the end of your garden hose.
