Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting blades for sharpness, cleaning the air filter, and checking tire pressure. Refer to the user manual for specific intervals and procedures.
First, check the fuel level and ensure the battery is charged. Inspect the spark plug for wear and ensure it is connected properly. If the problem persists, consult the manual or a professional technician.
Ensure the blades are sharp and balanced, clean the underside of the deck regularly, and adjust the cutting height according to the lawn conditions.
It is recommended to use John Deere Turf-Gard 10W-30 oil or an equivalent high-quality detergent oil with an API service classification of SG or higher.
Check for proper tire pressure, ensure blades are sharp and not bent, and verify the mower deck is level. Adjust as necessary based on the troubleshooting section of the manual.
Check for debris blocking airflow around the engine, ensure the radiator is clean, and verify coolant levels. If overheating persists, consult with a service technician.
The air filter should be checked and cleaned every 50 hours of operation and replaced every 200 hours or annually, whichever comes first.
It is not recommended to mow wet grass as it can lead to uneven cuts and may clog the mower deck. Wait until the grass is dry for optimal performance.
The mower deck height can be adjusted using the height adjustment lever located near the operator's seat. Refer to the operator's manual for the correct procedure and settings.
Clean the mower thoroughly, change the oil, drain fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, check tire pressure, and store in a dry place. Disconnect the battery if storing for an extended period.
