IMPORTANT= This cutting machine is capable of amputating hands and feet and

throwing objects. Failure to observe the following safety instructions could result in

serious injury or death.

Look for this symbol to point out

important safety precautions. It means

CAUTION!!! BECOMEALERT!!! YOUR

SAFETY IS INVOLVED.

CAUTION: In order to prevent

accidental starting when setting up,

transporting, adjusting or making repairs,

always disconnect spark plug wire and

place wire where it cannot contact spark

plug.

CAUTION: Do not coast down a hill

in neutral, you may lose control of the

tractor.

_CAUTION: Tow only the attachments

that are recommended by and comply

with specifications of the manufacturer of

your tractor. Use common sense when

towing. Operate only at the lowest

possible speed when on a slope. Too

heavy of a load, while on a slope, is

dangerous. Tires can lose traction with

the ground and cause you to lose control

of your tractor.

WARNING: Engine exhaust, some of

its constituents, and certain vehicle

components contain or emit chemicals

known to the State of California to cause

cancer and birth defects or other repro-

ductive harm.

WARNING: Battery posts, terminals

and related accessories contain lead

and lead compounds, chemicals known

to the State of California to cause cancer

and birth defects or other reproductive

harm. Wash hands after handling.

I. GENERAL OPERATION

•Read, understand, and follow all

instructions in the manual and on the

machine before starting.

• Only allow responsible adults, who are

familiar with the instructions, to operate

the machine.

• Clear the area of objects such as rocks,

toys, wire, etc., which could be picked

up and thrown by the blade.

•Be sure the area is clear of other people

before mowing. Stop machine if anyone

enters the area.

• Never carry passengers.

•Do not mow in reverse unless absolutely

necessary. Always look down and

behind before and while backing.

• Be aware of the mower discharge

direction and do not point it at anyone.

Do not operate the mower without either

the entire grass catcher or the guard in

place.

• Slow down before turning.

• Never leave a running machine

unattended. Always turn off blades, set

parking brake, stop engine, and remove

keys before dismounting.

•Turn off blades when not mowing.

• Stop engine before removing grass

catcher or unclogging chute.

• Mow only in daylight or good artificial

light.

• Do not operate the machine while under

the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Watch for traffic when operating near or

crossing roadways.

•Use extra care when loading or unload-

ing the machine into a trailer or truck.

• Data indicates that operators, age 60

years and above, are involved in a large

percentage of riding mower-related

injuries. These operators should

evaluate their ability to operate the riding

mower safely enough to protect them-

selves and others from serious injury.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves or

other debris build-up which can touch

hot exhaust /engine parts and burn. Do

not allow the mower deck to plow leaves

or other debris which can cause build-

up to occur. Clean any oil or fuel

spillage before operating or storing the

machine. Allow machine to cool before

storage.

II. SLOPE OPERATION

Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-

control and tipover accidents, which can re-

sult in severe injury or death. All slopes

require extra caution. If you cannot back up

the slope or if you feel uneasy on it, do not

mow it.

DO:

•Mow up and down slopes, not across.

• Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

• Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps. Uneven

terrain could overturn the machine. Tall

grass can hide obstacles.

•Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

white on the slope.

• Follow the manufacturer's recommenda-

tions for wheel weights or counter-

weights to improve stability.

• Use extra care with grass catchers or

other attachments. These can change

the stability of the machine.

• Keep all movement on the slopes slow

and gradual. Do not make sudden

changes in speed or direction.

• Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the blades

and proceed slowly straight down the

slope.

DO NOT:

•Do not turn on slopes unless necessary,

and then, turn slowly and gradually

downhill, if possible.

•Do not mow near drop-offs, ditches, or

embankments. The mower could

suddenly turn over if a wheel is over the

edge of a cliff or ditch, or if an edge

caves in.

•Do not mow on wet grass. Reduced

traction could cause sliding.

•Do not try to stabilize the machine by

putting your foot on the ground.

• Do not use grass catcher on steep

slopes.

II1. CHILDREN

Tragic accidents can occur if the operator

is not alert to the presence of children.

Children are often attracted to the

machine and the mowing activity. Never

assume that children will remain where

you last saw them.

• Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children

enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

• Never carry children. They may fall off

and be seriously injured or interfere

with safe machine operation.

•Never allow children to operate the

machine.

• Use extra care when approaching blind

corners, shrubs, trees, or other objects

that may obscure vision.

IV. SERVICE

•Use extra care in handling gasoline

and other fuels. They are flammable

and vapors are explosive.

-Use only an approved container.

- Never remove gas cap or add fuel

with the engine running. Allow

engine to cool before refueling. Do

not smoke.

-Never refuel the machine indoors.

- Never store the machine or fuel

container inside where there is an

open flame, such as a water heater.

• Never run a machine inside a closed

area.

• Keep nuts and bolts, especially blade

attachment bolts, tight and keep

equipment in good condition.

• Never tamper with safety devices.

Check their proper operation regularly.

• Keep machine free of grass, leaves, or

other debris build-up. Clean oil or fuel

spillage. Allow machine to cool before

storing.

•Stop and inspect the equipment if you

strike an object. Repair, if necessary,

before restarting.

•Never make adjustments or repairs

with the engine running.

• Grass catcher components are subject

to wear, damage, and deterioration,

which could expose moving parts or

allow objects to be thrown. Frequently

check components and replace with

manufacturer's recommended parts,

when necessary.

• Mower blades are sharp and can cut.

Wrap the blade(s) or wear gloves, and

use extra caution when servicing them.

• Check brake operation frequently.

Adjust and service as required.

•Be sure the area is clear of other

people before mowing. Stop machine if

anyone enters the area.

• Never carry passengers or children

even with the blades off.

• Do not mow in reverse unless abso-

lutely necessary. Always look down

and behind before and while backing.

• Never carry children. They may fall off

and be seriously injured or interfere

with safe machine operation.

•Keep children out of the mowing area

and under the watchful care of another

responsible adult.

• Be alert and turn machine off if children

enter the area.

• Before and when backing, look behind

and down for small children.

• Mow up and down slopes (15 °Max),

not across.

Remove obstacles such as rocks, tree

limbs, etc.

Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps.

Uneven terrain could overturn the

machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

Use slow speed. Choose a low gear so

that you will not have to stop or shift

while on the slope.

Avoid starting or stopping on aslope. If

tires lose traction, disengage the

blades and proceed slowly straight

down the slope.

If machine stops while going uphill,

disengage blades, shift into reverse

and back down slowly.

Do not turn on slopes unless neces-

sary, and then, turn slowly and gradu-

ally downhill, if possible.

before stopping may cause engine to

"backfire".

• Turn ignition key to "STOP" position

and remove key. Always remove key

when leaving tractor to prevent

unauthorized use.

•Never use choke to stop engine. 14

IMPORTANT: Leaving the ignition switch

in any position other than "STOP" will

cause the battery to discharge and go

dead.

NOTE: Under certain conditions when

tractor is standing idle with the engine

running, hot engine exhaust gases may

cause "browning" of grass. To eliminate

this possibility, always stop engine when

stopping tractor on grass areas.

_CAUTION: Always stop tractor

completely, as described above, before

leaving the operator's position.

TO USE THRO'n'LE CONTROL

Always operate engine at full throttle.

•Operating engine at less than full

TO ADJUST MOWER CUTTING HEIGHT

The cutting height is controlled by turning

the height adjustment knob in desired

direction.

•Turn knob clockwise (F_) to raise

cutting height.

•Turn knob counterclockwise (k_'_) to

lower cutting height.

The cutting height range is approximately

1-1/2" to 4-1/2". The heights are mea-

sured from the ground to the blade tip

with the engine not running.

Theseheightsare approximate and may

vary depending upon soil conditions,

height of grass and types of grass being

mowed.

•The average lawn should be cut to

approximately 2-1/2 inches during the

cool season and to over 3 inches

during hot months. For healthier and

better looking lawns, mow often and

after moderate growth.

•For best cutting performance, grass

over 6 inches in height should be

mowed twice. Make the first cut

relatively high; the second to desired

height.

TO ADJUST GAUGE WHEELS

Gauge wheels are properly adjusted

when they are slightly off the ground

when mower is at the desired cutting

height in operating position. Gauge

wheels then keep the deck in proper

position to help prevent scalping in most

terrain conditions.

NOTE: Adjust gauge wheels with tractor

on a flat level surface.

1. Adjust mower to desired cutting

height.

2. Lower mower with lift control. Re-

move rear retainer spring and clevis

pin which secure each gauge wheel.

3. Lower gauge wheels to ground.

Raise gauge wheels slightly to align

holes in bracket and gauge wheel bar

and insert clevis pins. Gauge wheels

should be slightly off the ground.

Transmission Disengaged

NOTE: To protect hood from damage

when transporting your tractor on a truck

or a trailer, be sure hood is closed and

secured to tractor. Use an appropriate

means of tying hood to tractor (rope, cord,

etc.).

TOWING CARTS AND OTHER ATTACH-

MENTS

Tow only the attachments that are

recommended by and comply with

specifications of the manufacturer of your

tractor. Use common sense when towing.

Too heavy of a load, while on a slope, is

dangerous. Tires can lose traction with

the ground and cause you to lose control

of your tractor.

BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE

CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL

The engine in your tractor has been

shipped, from the factory, already filled

with summer weight oil.

1. Check engine oil with tractor on level

ground.

2. Unthread and remove oil fill cap/

dipstick; wipe oil off. Reinsert the

dipstick into the tube and rest oil fill

cap on the tube. Do not thread the

cap onto the tube. Remove and read

oil level. If necessary, add-oil until

"FULL" mark on dipstick is reached.

Do not overfill.

•For cold weather operation you should

change oil for easier starting (See the oil

viscosity chart in the Maintenance

section of this manual).

•To change engine oil, see the Mainte-

nance section in this manual.

ADD GASOLINE

• Fill fuel tank to bottom of tank filler

neck. Do not overfill. Use fresh, clean,

regular unleaded gasoline with a

minimum of 87 octane. (Use of leaded

gasoline will increase carbon and lead

oxide deposits and reduce valve life).

Do not mix oil with gasoline. Purchase

fuel in quantities that can be used

within 30 days to assure fuel freshness.

_CAUTION: Wipe off any spilled oil or

fuel. Do not store, spill or use gasoline

near an open flame.

IMPORTANT: When operating in tem-

peratures below 32°F(0°C), use fresh,

clean winter grade gasoline to help

insure good cold weather starting.

_CAUTION: Alcohol blended fuels

(called gasohol or using ethanol or

methanol) can attract moisture which

leads to separation and formation of

acids during storage. Acidic gas can

damage the fuel system of an engine

while in storage.

To avoid engme problems, the fuel

system should be emptied before storage

of 30 days or longer. Drain the gas tank,

start the engine and let it run until the fuel

lines and carburetor are empty. Use fresh

fuel next season. See Storage Instruc-

tions for additional information.

Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

TO START ENGINE

When starting the engine for the firsttime or if

the engine has run out of fuel, if will take extra

crankin_ time to move fuel from the tank to

the eng=ne.

1. Be sure freewheel control is in the

transmission engaged position.

2. Sit on seat in operating position,

depress brake pedal and set parking

brake.

3. Move attachment clutch to disen-

gaged position.

4. Move throttle control to fast position

5. Pull choke control out for a cold

engine start attempt. For a warm

engine start attempt the choke control

may not be needed.

NOTE: Before starting, read the warm and

cold starting procedures below.

6. Insert key into ignition and turn key

clockwise to start position and release

key as soon as engine starts. Do not

run starter continuously for more than

fifteen seconds per minute. If the

engine does not start after several

attempts, push choke control in, wait a

few minutes and try again. If engine

still does not start, pull the choke

control out and retry.

WARM WEATHER STARTING (50 °F and

above)

7. When engine starts, slowly push

choke control in until the engine

begins to run smoothly. If the engine

starts to run roughly, pull the choke

control out slightly for a few seconds

and then continue to push the control

in slowly.

• The attachments and ground drive can

now be used. If the engine does not accept

the load, restart the engine and allow it to

warm up for one minute using the choke

as described above.

COLD WEATHER STARTING (50 ° F and

below)

7. When engine starts, slowly push

choke control in until the engine

begins to run smoothly. Continue to

push the choke control in small steps

allowing the engine to accept small

changes in speed and load, until the

choke control is fully in. If the engine

starts to run roughly, pull the choke

control out slightly for a few seconds

and then continue to push the control

in slowly. This may require an engine

warm-up period from several seconds

to several minutes, depending on the

temperature.

NOTE: In extreme cold conditions, if

engine will not start you may need to

disengage the motion drive belt as

follows:

1. Be sure parking brake is engaged.

2. Remove retainer spring from the drive

belt tension handle to relieve belt

tension.

3. Start engine and allow it to warm up

for three (3) minutes.

4. Shut-oft engine and engage parking

brake.

5. Engage drive belt tension handle and

replace the retainer spring.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WARM UP

Before driving the unit in cold weather,

the transmission should be warmed up as

follows:

1. Be sure the tractor is on level ground.

2. Place the motion control lever in

neutral. Release the parking brake

and let the brake slowly return to

operating position.

3. Allow one minute for transmission to

warm up. This can be done during the

engine warm up period.

• The attachments can be used during

the engine warm-up period after the

transmission has been warmed up and

may require the choke control be

pulled out slightly.

NOTE: If at a high altitude (above 3000

feet) or in cold temperatures (below 32 F)

the carburetor fuel mixture may need to

be adjusted for best engine performance.

(See "TO ADJUST CARBURETOR" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual.)

PURGE TRANSMISSION

_ILCAUTION: Never engage or disen-

gage freewheel lever while the engine is

running.

To ensure proper operation and perfor-

mance, it is recommended that the

transmission be purged before operating

tractor for the first time. This procedure will

remove any trapped air inside the trans-

mission which may have developed during

shipping of your tractor.

IMPORTANT: Should your transmission

require removal for service or replacement,

it should be purged after reinsta!lation

before operating the tractor.

1. Place tractor safely on level surface

with engine off and parking brake set.

2. Disengage transmission by placing

freewheel control in disengaged

position (See "TO TRANSPORT' in

this section of manual).

3. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.

After the engine is running, move

throttle control to slow position.

Disengage parking brake.

4. Move motion control lever to full

forward position and hold for five (5)

seconds. Mov_ lever to full reverse

position and hold for five (5) seconds.

Repeat this procedure three (3) times.

NOTE: During this step there will be no

movement of drive wheels. The air is being

removed from hydraulic drive system.

5. Move motion control lever to neutral

(N) position. Shutoff engine and set

parking brake.

6. Engage transmission by placing

freewheel control in engaged position

(See "TO TRANSPORT" in this section

of manual).

7. Sitting in the tractor seat, start engine.

After the engine is running, move

throttle control to half (1/2) speed.

Disengage parking brake.

8. Slowly move motion control lever

forward, after the tractor moves

approximately five (5) feet, slowly

move motion control lever to reverse

position. After the tractor moves

approximately five (5) feet return the

motion control lever to the neutral (N)

position. Repeat this procedure with

the motion control lever three (3)

times.

Your transmission is now purged and now

ready for normal operation.

MOWING TIPS

•Mower should be properly leveled for

best mowing performance. See "TO

LEVEL MOWER HOUSING" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual.

•The left hand side of mower should be

used for trimming.

•Drive so that clippings are discharged

onto the area that has already been

cut. Have the cut area to the dght of the

tractor. This will result in a more even

distribution of clippings and more

uniform cutting.

•When mowing large areas, start by

turning to the right so that clippings will

discharge away from shrubs, fences,

driveways, etc. After one or two

rounds, mow in the opposite direction

making left hand turns until finished.

•If grass is extremely tall, it should be

mowed twice to reduce load and

possible fire hazard from dried clip-

pings. Make first cut relatively high; the

second to the desired height.

• Do not mow grass when it is wet. Wet

grass will plug mower and leave

undesirable clumps. Allow grass to dry

before mowing.

•Always operate engine at full throttle

when mowing to assure better mowing

performance and proper discharge of

material. Regulate ground speed by

selecting alow enough gear to give the

mower cutting performance as well as

the quality of cut desired.

• When operating attachments, select a

ground speed that will suit the terrain

and give best performance of the

attachment being used.

TRACTOR

Always observe safety rules when

performing any maintenance.

BRAKE OPERATION

If tractor requires more than six (6) feet

stopping distance at high speed in

highest gear, then brake must be ad-

justed. (See 'q'O ADJUST BRAKE" in the

Service and Adjustments section of this

manual).

TIRES

•Maintain proper air pressure in all tires

(See "PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS"

section of this manual).

• Keep tires free of gasoline, oil, or insect

control chemicals which can harm

rubber.

• Avoid stumps, stones, deep ruts, sharp

objects and other hazards that may

cause tire damage.

NOTE: To seal tire punctures and prevent

flat tires due to slow leaks, tire sealant

may be purchased from your local parts

dealer. Tire sealant also prevents tire dry

rot and corrosion.

OPERATOR PRESENCE SYSTEM

Be sure that operator presence and

interlock systems are working properly. If

your tractor does not function as de-

scribed below, repair the problem

immediately.

•The engine should not start unless the

brake pedal is fully depressed and

attachment clutch control is in the

disengaged position.

• When the engine is running, any

attempt by the operator to leave the

seat without first setting the parking

brake should shut off the engine.

•When the engine is running and the

attachment clutch is engaged, any

attempt by the operator to leave the

seat should shut off the engine.

•The attachment clutch should never

operate unless the operator is in the

seat.

BLADE CARE

For best results mower blades must be

kept sharp. Replace bent or damaged

blades.

BLADE REMOVAL

1. Raise mower to highest position to

allow access to blades.

2. Remove hex bolt, lock washer and flat

washer securing blade.

3. Install new or resharpened blade with

trailing edge up towards deck as

shown.

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper assembly,

center hole in blade must align with star

on mandrel assembly.

4. Reassemble hex bolt, lock washer

TO SHARPEN BLADE

NOTE: We do not recommend sharpen-

ing blade -but if you do, be sure the

blade is balanced.

Care should be taken to keep the blade

balanced. An unbalanced blade will

cause excessive vibration and eventual

damage to mower and engine.

•The blade can be sharpened with a file

or on a grinding wheel. Do not attempt

to sharpen while on the mower.

•To check blade balance, you will need

a 5/8" diameter steel bolt, pin, or a cone

balancer. (When using a cone bal-

ancer, follow the instructions supplied

with balancer.)

NOTE: Do not use a nail for balancing

blade. The lobes of the center hole may

appear to be centered, but are not.

•Slide blade on to an unthreaded

portion of the steel bolt or pin and hold

the bolt or pin parallel with the ground.

If blade is balanced, it should remain in

a horizontal position. If either end of

the blade moves downward, sharpen

the heavy end until the blade is

balanced.

TO ADJUST CARBURETOR

The carburetor has been present at the

factory and adjustment should not be

necessary. However, minor adjustment

may be required to compensate for

differences in fuel, temperature, altitude

or load. If the carburetor does need

adjustment, proceed as follows:

In general, turning the adjusting needles

in (clockwise) decreases the supply of

fuel to the engine giving a leaner fueVair

mixture. Turning the adjusting needles out

(counterclockwise) increases the supply

of fuel to the engine giving a richer fuel/

air mixture.

IMPORTANT: Damage to the needles

and the seats in carburetor may result if

screw is turned in too tight.

PRELIMINARY SEI-IING -

1. Be sure you have a clean air filter, and

the throttle control cable is adjusted

properly (see "TO ADJUST

THROt-ILE CONTROL CABLE" in the

Service and Adjustments section of

this manual).

2. With engine off turn idle fuel adjusting

needle in (clockwise) closing it finger

tight and then turn out (counterclock-

wise) 1 turn.

FINAL SETTING -

1. Start engine and allow to warm for five

minutes. Make final adjustments with

engine running and shift/motion

control lever in neutral (N) position.

NOTE: The high idle is set at the factory

and cannot be adjusted.

2. Idle soeed setting - With throttle

control lever in slow position, engine

should idle at 1200 RPM. If engine

idles too slow or fast, turn idle speed

adjusting screw in or out until correct

idle is attained.

3. Idle fuel needle setting - With throttle

control lever in slow position, turn idle

fuel adjusting needle in (clockwise)

until engine speed decreases and

then turn out (counterclockwise)

approximately 3/4 turn to obtain the

best low speed performance.

4. Recheck idle speed. Readjust if

necessary.

ACCELERATION TEST -

5. Move throttle control lever from slow to

fast position. If engine hesitates or

dies, turn idle fuel adjusting needle

out (counterclockwise) 1/8 turn.

Repeat test and continue to adjust, if

necessary, until engine accelerates

smoothly.

High speed stop is factory adjusted. Do

not adjust-damage may result.

IMPORTANT: Never tamper with the

engine governor, which is factory set for

prop.er engine speed. Overspeeding the

engine above the factory high speed

setting can be dangerous. If you think the

engine-governed high speed needs

adjusting, contact your nearest Sears or

other qualified service center, which has

proper equipment and experience to

make any necessary adjustments.

Immediately prepare your tractor for

storage at the end of the season or if the

tractor will not be used for 30 clays or

more.

_ILCAUTION: Never store the tractor with

gasoline in the tank inside a building

where fumes may reach an open flame or

spark. Allow the engine to cool before

storing in any enclosure.

TRACTOR

Remove mower from tractor for winter

storage. When mower is to be stored for

a period of time, clean it thoroughly,

remove all dirt, grease, leaves, etc. Store

in a clean, dry area.

1. Clean entire tractor (See "CLEANING"

in the Maintenance section of this

manual).

2. Inspect and replace belts, if necessary

(See belt replacement instructions in

the Service and Adjustments section

of this manual).

3. Lubricate as shown in the Mainte-

nance section of this manual.

4. Be sure that all nuts, bolts and screws

are securely fastened. Inspect moving

parts for damage, breakage and wear.

Replace if necessary.

5. Touch up all rusted or chipped paint

surfaces; sand lightly before painting.

BATTERY

• Fully charge the battery for storage.

• After a period of time in storage, battery

may require recharging.

• To help prevent corrosion and power

leakage during long periods of storage,

battery cables should be disconnected

and battery cleaned thoroughly (see

"TO CLEAN BATIERY AND TERMI-

NALS" in the Maintenance section of

this manual).

• After cleaning, leave cables discon-

nected and place cables where they

cannot come in contact with battery

terminals.

•If battery is removed from tractor for

storage, do not store battery directly on

concrete or damp surfaces.

ENGINE

FUEL SYSTEM

IMPORTANT: It is important to prevent

gum deposits from forming in essential

fuel system parts such as carburetor, fuel

hose, or tank during storage. Also,

alcohol blended fuels (called gasohol or

using ethanol or methanol) can attract

moisture which leads to separation and

formation of acids during storage. Acidic

gas can damage the fuel system of an

engine while in storage.

1. Drain the fuel tank.

2. Start the engine and let it run until the

fuel lines and carburetor are empty.

• Never use engine or carburetor cleaner

products in the fuel tank or permanent

damage may occur.

• Use fresh fuel next season.

NOTE: Fuel stabilizer is an acceptable

alternative in minimizing the formation of

fuel gum deposits during storage. Add

stabilizer to gasoline in fuel tank or

storage container. Always follow the mix

ratio found on stabilizer container. Run

engine at least 10 minutes after adding

stabilizer to allow the stabilizer to reach

the carburetor. Do not drain the gas tank

and carburetor if using fuel stabilizer.

ENGINEOIL

Drain oil (with engine warm) and replace

with clean engine oil. (See "ENGINE" in

the Maintenance section of this manual).

CYLINDER(S)

1. Remove spark plug(s).

2. Pour one ounce of oil through spark

plug hole(s) into cylinder(s).

3. Turn ignition key to start position for a

few seconds to distribute oil.

4. Replace with new spark plug(s).

OTHER

•Do not store gasoline from one season

to another.

• Replace your gasoline can if your can

starts to rust. Rust and/or dirt in your

gasoline will cause problems.

•If possible, store your tractor indoors

and cover it to give protection from dust

and dirt.

•Cover your tractor with a suitable

protective cover that does not retain

moisture. Do not use plastic. Plastic

cannot breathe which allows conden-

sation to form and will cause your

tractor to rust.

IMPORTANT: Never cover tractor while

engine and exhaust areas are still warm.
