To start the Murray 387000x00A Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the throttle is set to fast. Turn the ignition key to the start position and release it once the engine starts.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87 for optimal performance of your Murray 387000x00A Tractor. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol.

If the engine won't start, check if the battery is charged, the fuel tank is filled, and the spark plug is functioning. Ensure the choke is set correctly and the air filter is clean.
To sharpen the mower blades, first disconnect the spark plug wire. Safely lift the tractor and remove the blades. Sharpen using a grinder, following the original angle, and balance the blades before reinstalling.
The recommended tire pressure for the front tires is 14 PSI and for the rear tires is 10 PSI. Always check the tire pressure when the tires are cold.
Check if the mower deck is level, the blades are sharp and properly installed, and the tires are inflated to the correct pressure. Also, inspect the spindle and belt for wear.
To clean the deck, first remove any grass clippings using a brush or compressed air. For thorough cleaning, safely lift the tractor, remove the blades, and clean with water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly to prevent rust.
Before storing, drain the fuel system or add a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, clean the tractor, and disconnect the battery. Store in a dry place and cover to protect from dust and moisture.
To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the battery and remove the mower deck. Release the belt tension and remove the old belt. Install the new belt following the routing diagram and reassemble all parts.
