To start the Murray 38711x20A Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the transmission is in neutral. Insert the key and turn it to the start position until the engine fires.
Check the battery connections, ensure there's sufficient fuel, and inspect the spark plug for damage. Also, verify that the safety switches are not engaged.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each mowing season, whichever comes first. Use the recommended oil type as specified in the owner's manual.
The recommended tire pressure for the Murray 38711x20A Tractor is generally between 10 to 14 PSI for the front tires and 8 to 12 PSI for the rear tires. Check the owner's manual for specific values.
Check the mower deck for levelness, ensure the blades are sharp and properly installed, and inspect for any debris blocking the deck. Adjust the deck settings as needed.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, replacing the air filter, inspecting the blades, and lubricating moving parts. Refer to the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual for detailed instructions.
To replace the blades, ensure the tractor is on a flat surface, disconnect the spark plug, raise the deck to its highest setting, and use a wrench to remove the blade bolts. Install new blades and tighten securely.
An overheating engine may be due to a clogged air filter, low oil levels, or debris blocking the cooling fins. Clean or replace the air filter, check oil levels, and ensure the engine is free of debris.
Ensure proper tire pressure, adjust the mowing speed, and check the suspension system for any needed adjustments. Using wheel weights may also help stabilize the tractor.
Excessive vibration may be caused by unbalanced blades, loose components, or damaged belts. Inspect and balance the blades, tighten any loose parts, and check belts for wear and replace if necessary.
