and measure the distance from the right end edge

of the brake handle cross bar to the right side of the

instrument panel.

6. Move the brake handlebar all the way to the left and

make the same measurement on the left.

7. Turn the adjusting nuts until the difference between

the two measurements is 1/2” to 3/4” (13 to 19mm).

preparing the engine for storage.

When The Tractor Will Not Be Operated For Two

Months Or More:

1. Do the daily and 25-hour maintenance, but do not

add gasoline.

2. Clean the tractor. Paint or oil bare metal surfaces to

prevent rust.

IMPORTANT: NEVER spray unit with high-pressure

water or store unit outdoors. Water can seep into sealed

bearings, which are sealed against dirt and debris only,

causing reduced component life.

NOTE: Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaners on any

painted surface. Do not allow gasoline or oil to remain on

any surface.

3. Refer to the engine manual and prepare the engine

for storage.

4. Charge the battery initially and then every three

weeks.

To Put The Tractor Into Service:

1. Refer to the engine service manual and prepare the

engine for service.

2. Charge the battery.

3. Put fresh, clean gasoline in the fuel tank.
