To start the tractor, ensure that the parking brake is engaged and the PTO is disengaged. Turn the ignition key to the 'Start' position, and release it once the engine starts.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher for optimal performance. Avoid using ethanol blends exceeding 10%.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation, then every 50 hours or annually, whichever comes first.
Check the battery connections, ensure the fuel valve is open, and verify that the spark plug is functioning. Ensure the seat switch is engaged.
To adjust the cutting height, use the lever located on the right side of the seat. Move it to the desired position, ranging from 1 to 4 inches.
Inspect the blades for dullness or damage. Sharpen or replace them as necessary. Check for debris buildup under the deck that may affect performance.
Check the oil level to ensure it's not overfilled. Inspect for oil leaks and clean any debris from the cooling fins. If the issue persists, consult a professional.
Drain the fuel or add a stabilizer, change the oil, clean the mower deck, and disconnect the battery. Store in a dry, sheltered location.
Ensure tires are properly inflated and consider adding wheel weights or using tire chains to enhance traction.
To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug and remove the deck. Follow the manual instructions to release tension and replace the belt, then reassemble.
