To start the Murray 38702x20D Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the throttle is set to 'choke' if the engine is cold. Turn the ignition key to the 'start' position until the engine fires, then release it to the 'run' position.
It is recommended to use SAE 30 motor oil for temperatures above 32°F and 10W-30 for a broad temperature range. Always check the owner’s manual for specific oil recommendations.
Check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the fuel valve is open, verify the spark plug is functioning, and ensure there is sufficient fuel. If these do not solve the issue, consult the service manual.
The oil should be changed every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each season, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes ensure optimal engine performance.
Check the blade engagement lever and ensure the PTO cable is connected and adjusted correctly. Inspect the belt for wear or damage and replace it if necessary.
Inspect the air filter, check and change the oil, inspect the spark plug, check tire pressure, clean the mower deck, and lubricate all fittings. Refer to the maintenance schedule in the owner’s manual.
The recommended tire pressure is typically 10 PSI for the front tires and 14 PSI for the rear tires. Always consult the owner's manual for specific recommendations.
Regularly sharpen and balance the blades, ensure the deck is clean and level, and mow at the appropriate speed. Adjust the cutting height as needed for optimal results.
Check for debris lodged in the mower deck, ensure blades are balanced and not bent, and inspect the belts for wear. Tighten any loose bolts or nuts.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer, remove the battery and store it in a dry place, and cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
