ENGINE AND AIR CLEANER
ENGINE COOLING
This tractor has an air cooled engine. Air
must be able to circulate freely around the
engine, through the screen and shroud, and
over the fins of the cylinder head and cylinder ......
block. Keep these areas free of accumulated ....
dirt and trash or the engine will overheat and
result in damaged moving parts.
DRY-TYPE AIR CLEANER
Incoming air for combustion is filtered by
a dry-type air cleaner having a filter element
inside of the cover.
Remove and clean or replace the element
with a new one when loss of power is
noticeable.
Cleaning the Element
To clean the element, remove the wing nut
and air cleaner cover (Illust. 14) then remove the
element and tap it lightly on a flat surface to
cause the loose dirt to fall off. Handle the
paper element with care to avoid perforations.
Do not use compressed air to remove the dirt
as this can rupture the element. Do not wash
or use a solvent.

Replacing the Element
Replace the element with a new one if dirt
does not drop off easily or if it is bent,
crushed or damaged. When replacing the ele-
ment be sure it fits snugly around the inside
edge of the air cleaner base. Then replace the
cover and tighten the wing nut finger tight.
The twelve-volt electrical system on a
tractor with electric starting consists princi-
pally of a motor-generator, voltage regulator,
and a twelve-volt battery.
Use the illustrations on page 17 and wiring
diagrams on page 18, as a guide for identifying
the various electrical units and for tracing the
electrical cables and connections. Be sure all
connections are clean and securely fastened.
IGNITION SWITCH
Turn the key clockwise to turn on the
ignition. With electric starting, a further turn
actuates the motor-generator. The key cannot
be removed when in the "ON" position.
Note: When the engine is not operating or
14
the engine has stalled and the operator leaves
the tractor, the key must be turned to the
"OFF" position to prevent battery discharge.
SAFETY STARTING SWITCH
The safety starting switch, activated by the
clutch or brake pedal, serves to prevent start-
ing the engine accidentally.
LIGHTING SWITCH BUTTON
Pull the button (Illust. 17A) out to turn on the
lights and push it in to turn off the lights.
CIGARETTE LIGHTER
