Ensure the tractor is on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, set the throttle to full, and turn the ignition key to the start position. Release the key once the engine starts.
Check the fuel level, ensure the spark plug is connected, inspect the air filter for blockages, and verify the battery is charged.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50 hours of operation or once per 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).
Locate the cutting height adjustment lever on the side of the tractor and move it to the desired position. Ensure the blades are disengaged before adjusting.
Check the blade alignment and sharpness. Replace or sharpen blades as necessary. Ensure the tire pressure is even and the deck is level.
Turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug. Use a garden hose to rinse grass clippings and debris from the deck underside. Avoid high pressure to prevent damage.
Drain the fuel tank, change the oil, clean the deck and undercarriage, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place, and cover the tractor.
Check the drive belt for wear or damage, ensure the tension is correct, and inspect the linkage for proper engagement. Adjust or replace parts as needed.
Regularly check and change the oil, inspect and clean the air filter, sharpen the blades, check tire pressure, and inspect belts and battery connections.
