Ensure the tractor is on a flat surface. Check the fuel level and oil. Engage the parking brake, set the throttle to half position, and turn the ignition key to start the engine.
Check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure there is fuel in the tank, verify that the spark plug is functioning, and inspect the ignition switch for damage.
Perform an oil change every 50 hours of operation, check and clean the air filter every 25 hours, and inspect belts, blades, and tires monthly.
Keep the engine well-tuned, ensure tires are properly inflated, use the correct engine oil, and avoid overloading the tractor.
Check for bent blades and ensure they are properly balanced. Inspect the mower deck for levelness and adjust if necessary.
Warm up the engine, place a container under the oil drain plug, remove the plug, and let the oil drain completely. Replace the drain plug and refill with new oil.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades, loose components, or worn-out belts. Inspect and repair as needed.
Check the transmission fluid level, inspect the drive belt for wear, and ensure the linkage is properly adjusted and not obstructed.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer, disconnect the battery, and store it in a dry, sheltered place.
Stop the tractor immediately, check for coolant leaks or blockages, ensure the cooling fins are clean, and verify the fan is operating correctly.
