To start the Ariens 936002 Tractor, ensure that the brake is engaged, the PTO is off, and the throttle is set to choke. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine runs.
Check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the fuel is fresh, and verify that the spark plug is clean. If the issue persists, consult the manual for further troubleshooting steps.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each season, whichever comes first.
Ensure the blades are sharp, the deck is clean, and the tire pressure is correct. Adjusting the cutting height and mowing at the appropriate speed can also improve performance.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87. Avoid using E85 and ensure the fuel is fresh, especially if the tractor is stored for extended periods.
Regularly check for corrosion on terminals and clean them with a solution of baking soda and water. Ensure the battery is fully charged and consider using a battery maintainer during the off-season.
Check for damaged or unbalanced blades, ensure that the deck is properly mounted, and inspect the belt for wear. Tighten any loose hardware on the deck.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank. Store the tractor in a dry place and disconnect the battery to prevent discharge.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level, inspecting the air filter, sharpening the blades, checking tire pressure, and inspecting belts and cables for wear.
Ensure the tire pressure is even, the blades are balanced and sharp, and the deck is level. Adjust the deck height settings if necessary to achieve an even cut.
