BAKERY
Yourtractor has a battery chargingsystem whichis suffi-
cient for normal use. However, periodic charging of the
battery withan automotivecharger will extend its life.
', Keep battery and terminals clean.
• Keep battery bolts tight.
,, Keep small vent holes open.
• Recharge at 6-10 amperes for I hour.
TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS
Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause
the battery to "leak" power.
• Open battery box door.
, Disconnect BLACK battery cable first then RED bat-
tery cab}e and remove battery from tractor.

LUBRICATION
Only use high quality detergent oil rated withAPt service
classification SF, SG or SH. Select the oil's SAE viscos-
ity grade according to your expected operating tempera-
ture.

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 every 25 hours of operation or at
least once a year if the tractor is not used for 25 hours in
one year.
Check the crankcase oil level before starting the engine
and after each eight (8) hours of operation. Tighten oilflit
cap/dipstick securely each time you check the oil level.
TO CHANGE ENGINE OIL (See Figs. 10 and !1)
Determine temperature range expected before oil
change. All oil must meet API service classification SF,
SG or SH.
Be sure tractor is on tevet surface.
- Oil will drain more freely when warm.
• Catch oil in a suitable container.
• Remove oil fil! cap/dipstick. Be careful not to allow
dirt to enter the engine when changing oil,
• Remove drain plug,
After oil has drained completely, replace oil drain plug
arid tighten securely.
• Refill engine with oil through oil felldipstick.tube. Pour
slowly. Do not overfill. For app,roxirnate capacity see
PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS section of this manu-
al.
= Use gauge on oil fill cap/dipstick for checking level.
Be sure dipstick cap is tightened securely for accu-
rate reading. Keep oil at "FULL" line on dipstick.
