CAUTION! To avoid injury or possible
accident, be very careful and take nec-
essary precautions when raising tractor
off the ground.
To adjust the brake, loosen jam nut "B". Next,
tighten the brake lever adjusting screw "c" until
finger tight (8 -1 a-inch pounds). Tighten jam nut
"B" while holding the adjusting screw.
If the brake drags after tightening jam nut "B",
loosen the jam nut and back off adjusting screw
"c" slightly and retighten jam nut "B". Recheck
brake adjustment and insure proper brake opera-
tion before operating the tractor.
CAUTION!
Remember -A careful oper-
ator is the best insurance against an
accident.
When your tractor is not to be used for some time,
it should be stored in a dry and protected place.
Leaving your tractor out-doors, exposed to the
elements materially shortens its life.

distribute the oil over the cylinder walls. Then
replace spark plug.
2. Store the tractor so the tires are protected from
sunlight. Before storing the tractor, clean the tire$thoroughly.

the tires when it is to be out of service for a long
period. If not jacked up, inflate the tires at regularintervals.
