Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting the air filter, checking tire pressure, lubricating moving parts, and ensuring all bolts and nuts are tightened. Refer to the owner's manual for specific intervals and procedures.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Always refer to the owner's manual for specific oil recommendations.
Check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness, ensure the fuel tank has fresh gasoline, inspect the spark plug for wear, and make sure the air filter is clean. If issues persist, consult a professional.
Inspect the blades for dullness or damage and sharpen or replace them if necessary. Check the deck level and adjust it to ensure an even cut. Also, ensure the PTO is engaged properly.
Consider using tire chains or weights to improve traction. Ensure the tires are properly inflated and avoid sudden starts and stops on slippery surfaces.
Overheating could be due to a clogged air filter, low coolant levels, or a blocked cooling fins. Clean or replace the air filter, check and refill coolant, and clear any debris from the cooling fins.
To change the drive belt, first disconnect the spark plug, then remove the deck. Carefully release the tension on the belt, remove the old belt, and install the new one following the path indicated in the owner’s manual.
Check the tire pressure and inflate if necessary. Inspect the steering linkage for wear or damage and lubricate the steering components as needed. If the problem persists, consult a professional.
The air filter should be checked every 25 hours of use and replaced if it appears dirty or damaged. Refer to the owner’s manual for specific replacement intervals.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer to the gasoline, remove the battery and store it in a warm place, and cover the tractor to protect it from the elements.
