MAINTENANCE MUFFLER Inspect and replace corroded muffler and spark arrester ( if equipped ) as it could create a fire hazard and / or dam - age . SPARK PLUGS Replace spark plugs at the beginning of each mowing sea - son or after every 1O0hours of use , whichever comes first . Spark plug type and gap setting is shown in " PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS " section of this manual . IN - LINE FUEL FILTER ( See Fig . 12 ) The fuel filter should be replaced once each season . If fuel filter becomes clogged , obstructing fuel flow to carburetor , replacement is required . • With engine cool , remove filter and plug fuel line sec - tions . • Place new fuel filter in position in fuel line with arrow pointing towards carburetor . • Be sure there are no fuel line leaks and clamps are properly positioned . Immediately wipe up any spilled gasoline . CLAMP CLAMP FUEL RLTER FIG . 12 CLEANING • Clean engine , battery , seat , finish , etc . of all foreign matter . • Keep finished surfaces and wheels free of all gasoline , oil , etc . • Protect painted surfaces with automotive type wax . We do not recommend using a garden hose or pressure washer to clean your tractor unless the engine and trans - mission are covered to keep water out . Water in engine or transmission will shorten the useful life of your tractor . Use compressed air or a leaf blower to remove grass , leaves and trash from tractor and mower . 17
