John Deere 210, 212, 214 and 216 Lawn and Garden Tractor Operator's Manual (OM-M82325)

This is the owner's manual for the 210, 212, 214 and 216, the Kohler-powered John Deere lawn and garden tractors. It's a practical book about running the tractor safely and looking after it, and it's handy for anyone who's bought one secondhand without the original paperwork.

What this manual covers

It opens with safety: preparation before mowing, knowing the controls, towing loads, working on slopes, and keeping children and bystanders clear while the machine is running. Next it shows how to identify your engine by the horsepower and model number on the shroud, which helps when you order filters, belts or parts. Then it explains the controls shared by all four tractors, how to start and operate the tractor correctly, and the routine maintenance points and intervals an owner should keep up with. The manual is also a good reference if you're buying one of these tractors used: the engine identification and controls pages let you check you're looking at the model and horsepower the seller says it is, and the maintenance pages show what should have been done.
