Ensure the tractor is on a level surface, engage the parking brake, set the throttle to ‘fast’, and turn the ignition key to start.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for colder conditions.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once per season.
Check the battery connections, ensure there is fuel, and verify that the safety features (like the parking brake) are engaged.
Check if the blades are sharp and balanced, ensure the deck is level, and verify tire pressure is consistent.
Clean the underside of the mower deck, check for loose bolts or parts, and inspect the blades for damage.
Disconnect the spark plug, lift the tractor, remove the blade bolt, and replace with new blades ensuring they are properly secured.
Reduce speed when driving on slopes, use tire chains if necessary, and ensure weight is evenly distributed.
Check for debris under the deck, inspect blades for balance and damage, and ensure all mounting bolts are tight.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, drain the fuel or add a stabilizer, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
