TOWING CARTS AND OTHER AT TACH -
MENTS
Tow only the attachments that are recommended by and
comply with specifications of the manufacturer of your trac-

while on a slope, is dangerous. Tires can lose traction with
the ground and cause you to lose control of your tractor.

dipstick and screw cap tight, wait for a few seconds,
remove and read oil level. If necessary, add oil until
"FULL " mark on dipstick is reached. Do not overfill.

For cold weather operation you should change oil for
easier starting (See "OIL VISCOSITY CHART" in the
Maintenance sec tion of this manual).
