To perform routine maintenance, regularly check and replace the oil, inspect the air filter, clean the fuel system, and lubricate moving parts. Refer to the owner's manual for detailed instructions.
If the engine won't start, check the battery connections, ensure the fuel tank is full, inspect the spark plug, and verify that the safety switches are engaged.
Uneven cutting can be resolved by checking the tire pressure, leveling the mower deck, and sharpening or replacing the blades.
To change the oil, warm up the engine, remove the drain plug, allow the oil to drain, replace the plug, and fill with new oil according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Overheating may be due to low coolant levels, a clogged radiator, or a faulty thermostat. Check and resolve these issues to prevent overheating.
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87. Avoid using ethanol blends higher than 10%.
To replace the drive belt, disconnect the battery, remove the mower deck, release the belt tension, and then remove and replace the old belt with a new one.
Inspect the steering components for wear or damage, check the tire pressure, and tighten any loose connections to improve steering performance.
Replace the air filter every 100 hours of operation or at least once every season to ensure optimal engine performance.
Signs include difficulty starting the engine, dim headlights, and a battery that doesn't hold a charge. Test and replace if necessary.
