To start the Murray 40508x52A Tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged and the transmission is in neutral. Turn the ignition key to the 'Start' position and release it once the engine starts.
Check the fuel level and ensure there is fresh fuel. Inspect the spark plug for damage or wear, and replace if necessary. Verify that the battery is fully charged and connections are clean and tight.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each mowing season, whichever comes first.
Use SAE 30 motor oil for temperatures above 40°F (4°C) and SAE 5W-30 for colder conditions. Ensure the oil meets API service classification SJ or higher.
To adjust the cutting deck, park the tractor on a flat surface. Adjust the deck height lever to the desired position, ensuring the deck is level from side to side. Use the deck adjustment knobs if necessary.
Check that the blades are sharp and not damaged. Make sure the deck is properly leveled and that the tire pressure is even on all sides. Replace or sharpen blades if necessary.
Inspect the air filter for clogs and clean or replace it if necessary. Check the fuel filter and lines for obstructions. Ensure the spark plug is in good condition and the fuel is fresh.
At the end of the mowing season, clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and sharpen the blades. Drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer, and store the tractor in a dry, sheltered area.
First, disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Remove the mower deck and belt guards. Release the tension on the belt and remove it from the pulleys. Install the new belt by reversing these steps.
The recommended tire pressure for the front tires is 14 psi, and for the rear tires, it is 10 psi. Check the tire pressure regularly to ensure optimal performance.
