Ensure the tractor is on a level surface, engage the parking brake, set the throttle to the choke position, and turn the ignition key to start the engine.
Use SAE 30 oil above 40°F (4°C) and 10W-30 or Synthetic 5W-30 for colder temperatures. Always refer to the manual for specific requirements.
Check the battery charge, ensure the fuel valve is open, inspect the spark plug, and verify that the air filter is clean.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each season, whichever comes first.
Remove the air filter cover, take out the old filter, insert the new filter, and replace the cover securely.
Sharpen the blades every 25 hours of use or if they become dull, and ensure they're balanced to prevent vibration.
Clean the tractor, change the oil, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and store it in a dry, covered area.
Locate the cutting height adjustment lever and move it to the desired height setting. Ensure the tractor is off and on a level surface before adjusting.
Possible causes include low oil level, clogged air filter, or debris blocking the cooling fins. Check and resolve these issues to prevent overheating.
After use, clean the deck by scraping off grass and debris, then use water and mild detergent. Avoid using pressure washers to prevent damage.
