TIRES
• Maintain proper air pressure in all tires(See "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS"section of this manual).
• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, orinsect control chemicals which canharm rubber.
• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharpobjects and other hazards that maycause tire damage.
NOTE: To seal tire punctures andprevent flat tires due to slow leaks, tiresealant may be purchased from yourlocal parts dealer. Tire sealant alsoprevents tire dry rot and corrosion.
OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM
Be sure operator presence and interlocksystems are working properly. If yourtractor does not function as described,repair the problem immediately.,, The engine should not start un(ess the
clutch/brake pedal is fully depressedand attachement clotch control is inthe disengaged position.
• When the engine is running, anyattempt by the operator to leave theseat withoutfirst setting the parkingbrake should shut off the engine.
• When the engine is running and theattachment clutch is engaged, anyattempt by the operator to leave theseat should shutoff the engine.
• The attachment clutch should nevercperate unless the operator is in theseat.

4, Be sure that all nuts,bolts and screwsare securely fastened, inspectmoving parts for damage, breakageand wear. Replace if necessary.
5. Touch up aft rustedor chipped paintsurfaces; sand lightly before painting.
BATTERY
Folly charge the battery for storage,After a period of time in storage,battery may require recharging.
• To help prevent corrosionand powerleakage during long bedods ofstorage, battery cables ebeu(d bedisconnected and battery cleanedthoroughly (see "TO CLEAN BATTERYAND TERMINALS" in the Maintenancesectionof this ma_a_).
• After cleaning, leave cab(es discon-nected and place cables where theycannot come in contact with batterytermina|s.
• if battery is removedfrom tractorforstorage, do not store battery directlyonconcrete or damp surfaces.
ENGINEFUEL SYSTEMIMPORTANT: It is important to preventgum deposifes from forming in essentialfuel system parts such as carburetor,fuel hose, or tank duringstorage.Also,experience indicates that alcohol
bieoded fuels (called gasohel or usingethan(>)or methanol) can attractmo)sturawhich leads to separation and formationof acids duringstorage. Acidic gas candamage the fuel system of and enginewhile in storage.1. Drain the fuel tank.2. Start the engine and let it run untilthe
fuel lines and carburetorare empty.• Never use engine or carburetor
cleaner productsin the fuel tank orpermanent damage may occur.
• L_se_resh fuel next season.NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptablealternative in minimizing the formation offuel gum deposits duringstorage. Addstabitlzerto gasoline in fuel tank orstorage container, Always follow the mixratio found on stabilizer container. Runengine at least 10 minutes after addingstabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reachthe carburetor. Do not drain the gas tankand carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.
ENGINE OIL
Drain oil (with engine warm) and replacewith clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" inthe Maintenance section of this manual).
CYLINDER(S)1. Remove spark plug(s).2, Pour one ounce of oil throughspark
plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).3. Turn ignitionkey to "START" position
for a few seconds to distributeoil.4. Replace with new spark plug(s}.OTHER
• Do not store gasoline from one seasonto another.
• Replace your gasoline can if your canstarts to rust. Rust and/ordirt in yourgasoline will cause problems.
• _fp_as_ble,store your tractor indoorsendenver it to give protection fromdust and dirt.
• Cover yourtractor with a suitableprotectivecover that does not retainmoisture. Do not use plastic. Plasticcannot breathe which allows conden-sation to form and willcause yourtractorto rust,
IMPORTANT: Nevercovertraoiorwhileengine and exhaust areas are stillwarm.
