Covers both drain plugs (and why there are two), oil filter quirks, fan belt inspection, air filter, front axle oil, all grease fittings including snowblower driveline specifics, hydrostatic fluid level, and tire pressure. Runs about 13 minutes with genuine hands-on detail. Most useful to first-time B2601 owners doing their own maintenance.
