Before operating the mower, check the engine oil level, hydraulic fluid level, coolant level, and ensure all safety guards are in place. Inspect the blades for sharpness and any signs of wear or damage. Ensure that tire pressure is within the recommended range.
First, check the battery to ensure it is charged and connections are secure. Verify that the PTO switch is disengaged and the parking brake is set. Examine the fuel level and fuel filter for any blockages. If the problem persists, consult the operator's manual for further troubleshooting steps.
It is recommended to change the engine oil and filter every 100 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Use the oil type and viscosity specified in the operator's manual for optimal performance.
To adjust the cutting height, use the height adjustment knobs located on each cutting unit. Refer to the cutting height chart in the operator's manual to set the desired height. Ensure all cutting units are set to the same height for an even cut.
To improve fuel efficiency, regularly maintain the mower by keeping the engine tuned, blades sharp, and tires properly inflated. Avoid excessive idling, and use the recommended engine RPMs for different mowing conditions.
For winter storage, clean the mower thoroughly and remove any grass clippings. Drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer. Change the engine oil and filter, and disconnect the battery to prevent discharge. Store the mower in a dry, sheltered location.
Check the cutting units for even tire pressure and ensure blades are sharp and not damaged. Verify that all cutting units are adjusted to the same height. Inspect the suspension and linkages for wear or damage.
Ensure all operators are trained and familiar with the operator's manual. Conduct regular safety checks, and ensure all safety guards and shields are in place. Equip operators with appropriate personal protective equipment and enforce safety protocols.
Daily maintenance tasks include checking the engine oil level, inspecting the air filter, examining hydraulic fluid levels, and ensuring tire pressure is correct. Also, check for loose bolts or parts and inspect for any fluid leaks.
To replace the blades, safely raise the mower deck and secure it. Use a suitable tool to remove the blade bolts, then remove the old blades. Install the new blades, ensuring they are properly aligned and tightened according to the specifications in the operator's manual.
