GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The warranty on this vehicle does not cover items that
have been subjected to operator abuse or negligence. To
receive full value from the warranty, operator must main-
tain unit as instructed in this manual.
Some adjustments will need to be made periodically to
properly maintain your unit.
All adjustments in the Service and Adjustments section of
this manual should be checked at least once each season.
