As with a new car, your new HUSKY Tractor should receive special attention. During the first few hours of operation, it is best to vary the engine speed (see inside front cover of engine manual) . . . . . . avoid full-throttle driving . . . . and avoid quick starts and stops until you have become well acquainted with your tractor. IMPORTANT: THE TRACTOR IS SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WITH OIL IN THE ENGINE CRANKCASE. CHECK THE CRANKCASE AND THE HYDROSTATIC TRANSMISSION OIL RESERVOIR FOR PROPER OIL LEVEL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO START YOUR UNIT. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE LOCATION OF EACH CONTROL. BE SURE TRANSMISSION LEVER IS IN "PARK" POSITION.
