cover items that have been subjected to Zerk
operator abuse or negligence. To receive
full value from the warranty, operator
must maintain tractor as instructed in this @FrontWheel
manual. Bearing
Some adjustments will need to be made Zerk
periodically to properly maintain your

BEFORE EACH USE
1. Check engine oil level.
2. Check brake operation.
3. Check tire pressure.
4. Check operator presence and
interlock systems for proper operation.
5. Check for loose fasteners.
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.
