8-39 Periodic Maintenance and Adjustment
Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after starting out to make sure they are working properly.
If the brakes do not provide proper braking performance, inspect the brake pads for
wear.(See page 8-29-8-30).
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Riding with improperly operating brakes.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You could lose braking ability, which could
lead to an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always check the brakes at the start of every
ride. Do not ride the TRACTOR if you find any
problem with the brakes. If a problem cannot
be corrected by the adjustment procedures
provided in this manual, have a dealer check
for the cause.
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
Recommended fuel:
UNLEADED GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
Total:
13L (2.86 Imp gal, 3.43 US gal)
CAUTION:
Only unleaded gasoline. The use of leaded gasoline will cause severe damage to
internal engine parts, such as the valves and piston rings, as well as to the exhaust
system.
Your engine has been designed to use regular unleaded gasoline with a pump octane
number ([R+M]/2) of 86 or higher, or research octane number of 91 or higher. If
knocking or pinging occurs, use a different brand of gasoline or premium unleaded fuel.
Unleaded fuel will give you longer spark plug life and reduced maintenance cost.
