battery with an automotive Charger will extend itslife,
• Acid solution level in each battery celt should be even
with bottoms of vent wells. Add only distilled oriron free
water if necessary° Do not overfill
• Keep battery and terminals clean
• Keep battery bolts tight
• Keep vent caps tight and small vent holes in caps open.
• Recharge at 6 amperes for I hour,

NOTE: Although multi-viscosity oils (5W30, 10W30 etc)
improve starting in cold weather, these multi-viscosity oils
will result in increased oil consumption when used above
32°F. Check your engine oil level more frequently to avoid
possible engine damage from running low on oil
Change the oil after the first two hours of operation and
every 50 hours thereafter or at least once a year ff the
tractor is not used for 50 hours in one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each eight (8) hours of operation° Tighten oil fill
cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level
TO CHANGE ENGINE OtL (See Figs. 17 & 18)
Determine temperature range expected before oit change
All oil must meet APt service classification SF or SG
o Be sure tractor is on level surface,
• Oil will drain more freely when warm
• Catch oil in a suitable container.
