period of two years from the date the engine
is delivered to a retail purchaser.
3. No Charge — Repair or replacement of any
Warranted Part will be performed at no

replace as necessary” shall be warranted as
to defects for the warranty period. Any
Warranted Part which is scheduled for
replacement as required maintenance shall
be warranted as to defects only for the
period of time up to the first scheduled

Cleaning The Engine
This tractor has an air-cooled engine.
Air must be able to circulate freely
around the engine through the
flywheel screen, through the cooling
shrouds and over the fins of the
cylinder head and cylinder block. Keep
these areas free of accumulated dirt
and debris or the engine will overheat;
possibly causing extensive engine
damage. Regularly clean the inside of
the side panels, dash intake screen
and grille to ensure adequate cooling.
If debris has accumulated inside the
cooling shrouds, the blower housing
and cooling shrouds should be
removed and the cooling fins cleaned.
WARNING: This machine is
designed to cool properly with
the side panels in place.
Operating without the panels
could cause premature
accumulation of dirt and
debris on the engine, resulting
in inadequate cooling.
WARNING: Keep the muffler
area clean. Before running the
engine, clean the muffler area
to remove all combustible
debris. Inspect the muffler
area often when mowing
during the Fall season
Checking Engine Oil Level
Figure 22
Before each use, the oil level of the
engine crankcase should be checked
to see that it is filled to the correct
level. Close monitoring of the oil level
during the first 10 hours of operation of
the engine is especially important and
the oil level should be checked
EVERY HOUR during the first five
hours of operation.
