Poulan Pro XT24H42LT Operator's Manual

To change the oil, run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up, then turn it off. Place a pan under the oil drain valve, remove the valve cap, and allow the old oil to drain completely. Replace the cap and refill with new oil as specified in your manual.
Check the battery connections for corrosion and ensure they are tight. Verify that the fuel tank has fresh gasoline and the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear and replace if necessary.
To adjust the cutting deck, park the tractor on a flat surface. Adjust the deck height lever to the desired position. Ensure the deck is level by measuring from the ground to the deck on each side and adjusting the lift links as needed.
Regularly inspect the mower blades for damage and dullness. Sharpen the blades if they are dull, and replace them if they are bent or damaged. Always disconnect the spark plug before performing any maintenance.
Uneven cutting may be caused by an unlevel deck, dull blades, or tire pressure issues. Check and adjust the deck level, sharpen the blades, and ensure all tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.
Check the transmission fluid level and top it off if necessary. Inspect the drive belt for wear and replace it if it's worn or damaged. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
Replace the air filter every 50 hours of operation or once per season, whichever comes first. Check it more frequently if you operate in dusty conditions.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced blades, loose components, or damaged belts. Check the blade balance, tighten any loose parts, and inspect the belts for damage.
To winterize, clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from the elements.
Refer to the owner's manual for the recommended tire pressure. Generally, the front tires should be around 14 psi, and the rear tires around 10 psi. Always check the specific values for your model.
