To start the tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, shift the gear lever to neutral, and turn the ignition key to the start position.
Check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure there's fuel in the tank, and verify the spark plug is in good condition.
Change the oil every 50 hours of use or at the start of each season, whichever comes first.
Use SAE 30 oil for warmer temperatures and 10W-30 for colder conditions.
Check the tire pressure, ensure the blades are sharp, and confirm the deck is level.
After each use, remove grass clippings and debris using a hose, and ensure the deck is dry to prevent rust.
Disconnect the spark plug wire, remove the old plug with a socket wrench, and install a new spark plug with the correct gap settings.
Excessive vibration can be due to unbalanced blades, check for damage and balance them properly.
Clean the tractor, change the oil, empty the fuel tank, and disconnect the battery to prolong its life.
Maintain proper tire pressure, regularly change the air filter, and keep the engine well-tuned.
