should
be kept clean to assure
proper
cooling.
Do not attempt
to clean fan or transmis-
sion while

to seals,
do not use high pressure
water
or steam
to clean

are intact
and clean.

Sears
or other
qualified
service
center.
NOTE:
Although
multi-viscosity
oils
(5W30,
10W30
etc.) improve
starting
in
cold weather,
they will result in increased
oil consumption
when
used above
32°R
Check
your engine
oil level more frequent-
ly to avoid
possible
engine
damage
from
running
low on oil.
Change
the oil after every

of op-
eration
or at least once a year
if the tractor
is not used for 50 hours
in one year.
