OPERATING

YOUR

TRACTOR

A

brief

break-in

period

is

necessary

to

insure

maximum

engine

life.

This

consists

of

running

the

engine

at

half

speed

for

a

period

of

time

required

to

use

one

tank

full

of

gaso¬

line.

This

is

necessary

on

the

initial

run

only.

It

is

also

recommended

that

the

crankcase

oil

be

changed

after

the

first

five

hours

of

operation.

This

allows

for

the

removal

from

the

crankcase

of

any

impurities

which

may

have

accumulated

during

the

break-in

period.

PRECAUTIONS

1.

Do

not

fill

the

gasoline

tank

while

the

engine

Is

running.

Be

careful

not

to

spill

gasoline

on

the

engine.

2.

Cle^an

grass

and

leaves

from

the

fins

and

air

screen

so

the

engine

will

not

overheat.

3.

Always

remove

the

spark

plug

wire

before

making

any

adjustments

or

working

on

the

unit.

Turning

the

blade

by

hand

can

accidentally

start

the

engine

and

cause

injury

if

the

sparkplug

wire

is

connected.
