[. . . ] 16 Your tractor has a battery charging system which is sufficient for normal use. However, periodic charging of the battery with an automotive charger will extend its life. NOTE: The original equipment battery on your tractor is maintenance free. TO CLEAN BATTERY AND TERMINALS Corrosion and dirt on the battery and terminals can cause the battery to “leak” power. • Disconnect BLACK battery cable first then RED battery cable and remove battery from tractor. • Clean terminals and battery cable ends with wire brush until bright. • Reinstall battery (See “REPLACING BATTERY" in the SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS section of this manual). 02828 ROS "ON" POSITION ENGINE "ON" POSITION (NORMAL OPERATING) Fig. 15 15 MAINTENANCE V-BELTS Check V-belts for deterioration and wear after 100 hours of operation and replace if necessary.

Do not attempt to clean fan or transmission while engine is running or while the transmission is hot. To prevent possible damage to seals, do not use high pressure water or steam to clean transmission. • Inspect cooling fan to be sure fan blades are intact and clean. • Inspect cooling fins for dirt, grass clippings and other materials. To prevent damage to seals, do not use compressed air or high pressure sprayer to clean cooling fins. 02 46 3 CAP 2. 7.

AIR FILTER Your engine will not run properly using a dirty air filter. [. . . ] This difference is due to a variety of factors including, but not limited to, accessories (air cleaner, exhaust, charging, cooling, carburetor, fuel pump, etc. ), application limitations, ambient operating conditions (temperature, humidity, altitude), and engine-to-engine variability. Due to manufacturing and capacity limitations, Briggs & Stratton may substitute an engine of higher rated power for this Series engine. 37 TRACTOR - MODEL NO. 960 43 00-90 STEERING ASSEMBLY 26 45 51 1 20 21 16 63 19 60 57 63 61 8 9 7 2 59 6 4 58 28 13 15 22 50 14 62 14 15 65 50 67 6 5 13 98 7 55 78 67 55 65 54 66 54 35 64 53 8 69 68 13 70 Steering-tex_LEGND2_33 38 TRACTOR - MODEL NO. 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 13 14 15 16 19 21 22 26 28 35 45 50 51 53 54 55 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 78 PART NO.
