To start the tractor, ensure the gear lever is in the neutral position, apply the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine fires. Release the key once the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, check the battery charge, ensure the fuel tank is not empty, inspect the spark plugs, and verify that the safety switches are engaged properly.
The engine oil should be changed every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each season, whichever comes first.
Use SAE 30 oil for optimal performance in temperatures above 32°F (0°C). For colder climates, consider using 10W-30 or 5W-30 synthetic oil.
Check the tire pressure for consistency, ensure the mower deck is level, inspect blades for sharpness and damage, and clear any debris from the deck.
Regularly clean the battery terminals, check the electrolyte level, and test the battery charge. Ensure connections are tight and free from corrosion.
Locate the air filter housing, remove the cover, and take out the old filter. Insert a new filter, replace the cover, and secure it properly.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and store the tractor in a dry, sheltered location. Cover it to protect from dust and moisture.
Use the height adjustment lever located on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired height position, ensuring the deck lifts evenly on both sides.
Excessive vibration could be due to unbalanced or damaged blades, loose components, or engine mounting issues. Inspect and correct these potential causes.
