CLEANING
• Clean engine, battery, seat, finish, etc. of all foreign
matter.
• Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gaso-
line, oil, etc.
• Protect painted surfaces with automotive type
wax.
We do not recommend using a garden hose or pres-
sure washer to clean your tractor unless the engine
and transmission are covered to keep water out. Water
in engine or transmission will shorten the useful life
of your tractor. Use compressed air or a leaf blower
to remove grass, leaves and trash from tractor and
mower.
ENGINE OIL FILTER
Replace the engine oil filter every season or every
other oil change if the tractor is used more than 100
hours in one year.
