To start the Murray 405020x51A Tractor, ensure that the PTO switch is off, the brake pedal is engaged, and the throttle lever is in the choke position. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine begins to run.
Check the battery connections for corrosion and ensure they are tight. Verify that the fuel tank has fresh fuel, and the fuel shut-off valve is in the open position. Inspect the spark plug for damage or wear.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each mowing season, whichever comes first.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
Adjust the cutting height by moving the height adjustment lever located on the side of the tractor to the desired cutting position.
Ensure the PTO switch is engaged, check the drive belt for wear or damage, and inspect the PTO clutch for proper operation.
Keep the battery terminals clean and free of corrosion. Ensure the battery is charged during the off-season and check the fluid levels if it's not a maintenance-free battery.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, remove the battery, and store it in a dry place. Add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank and run the engine for a few minutes to circulate the stabilizer.
Check the tire pressure to ensure they are equal, inspect the blades for sharpness and damage, and verify that the deck is level.
Inspect the blades for balance and damage, check the belts for wear, and ensure all mounting bolts and engine components are secure.
