damage
to seals, do not use high pressure
water or steam to clean transaxle.
- Inspect cooling fan to be sure fan blades
are intact and clean.

cooling fins for dirt, grass clip-
pings and other materials.
To prevent
damage

grade
according
to your expected
operating
temperature,
NOTE:
Although
multi-viscosity
oils
(5W30,
10W30 etc.) improve starting in
cold weather, they will result in increased
oil consumption
when used above
32°F/0°C.
Check your engine oil level
more frequently
to avoid possible engine
damage
from running low on oil.
Change
the oi! after every 50 hours of op-
eration or at least once a year if the tractor
is not used for 50 hours in one year.
