GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

periodically to prepedy maintain your
tractor.

be checked at least once each season.

interlock systems for proper operation.

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,
