Ensure the tractor is on a level surface. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the 'Start' position while pressing the brake pedal. Release the key once the engine starts.
Use SAE 30 motor oil for optimal performance in temperatures above 32°F (0°C). For colder temperatures, use SAE 5W-30 oil.
Check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness, ensure there is sufficient fuel, and verify that the spark plug is clean and properly connected.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once every mowing season.
Check the mower deck belt for wear or damage and ensure it is properly tensioned. Also, verify that the PTO (Power Take-Off) lever is fully engaged.
Locate the height adjustment lever on the right side of the seat and move it forward or backward to set the desired cutting height.
Perform a pre-operation check before each use, change the oil and oil filter every 50 hours, and inspect the air filter monthly. Additionally, sharpen the blades and check tire pressure regularly.
Use tire chains for snowy or muddy conditions, or consider adding wheel weights for additional stability and traction.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place, and add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank. Cover the tractor and store it in a dry location.
Stop the tractor immediately and let it cool down. Check the air intake and cooling fins for blockages, and ensure the engine oil is at the proper level.
