To start the Murray 31201x51A Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is off, and the gear lever is in neutral. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to start the engine.
Check the battery connections for corrosion and ensure they are tight. Verify the fuel level and ensure fresh fuel is used. Check the spark plug for wear and replace if necessary.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each season. Use SAE 30 motor oil for optimal performance.
Regularly inspect the blades for damage or wear. Sharpen the blades every 25 hours of use or more frequently if mowing thick grass. Replace blades if they are bent or severely worn.
Check that the tire pressure is even and correct. Ensure that the deck is level and the blades are sharp. Also, inspect for buildup of grass clippings under the deck that could affect performance.
Remove the air filter cover by loosening the screws. Take out the old air filter and replace it with a new one of the same type. Secure the cover back in place.
Locate the height adjustment lever on the side of the tractor. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position. Ensure that the deck is level after adjustment.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer to the tank, and remove the battery for storage. Store the tractor in a dry, sheltered area.
Check for loose or missing bolts, ensure the blades are balanced and not damaged, and inspect the belts for wear. Tighten any loose components and replace damaged parts as necessary.
Inspect the drive belts for wear or damage and replace if needed. Check the transmission fluid level and top up if necessary. Ensure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure.
