To start the Murray 42597x95A Tractor, ensure that the parking brake is engaged, the PTO switch is in the "Off" position, and the throttle is set to "Choke" for a cold start. Turn the ignition key to the "Start" position and release it once the engine starts.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using ethanol blends greater than 10% as it might damage the engine components.
Change the engine oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first. Refer to the user manual for the recommended oil type and quantity.
Check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness, ensure the fuel level is adequate, and inspect the spark plug for fouling. Also, verify that the safety switches are properly engaged.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever, typically found on the fender. Move the lever to the desired position, which ranges from 1.5 to 4 inches, to set the cutting height.
Routinely inspect the air filter, blades, and belts every 25 hours of use. Change the oil every 50 hours, and replace the spark plug and air filter annually. Always consult the operator's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
Check if the blades are dull or damaged and sharpen or replace them as needed. Ensure the tire pressure is even on all tires and adjust if necessary. Verify that the deck is level by measuring the blade tip height on both sides.
Inspect the battery for signs of wear or damage. Check the charging system and connections for faults. Clean the terminals and ensure they are tightly connected, and replace the battery if it is more than 3 years old or fails a load test.
