Ensure the tractor is on a flat surface. Insert the key into the ignition, press the brake pedal, and turn the key to the start position. Release the key once the engine starts.
Check the battery connections for corrosion and ensure they are tight. Verify that the fuel tank is not empty and that the fuel shut-off valve is open. If problems persist, consult the manual for troubleshooting tips.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each mowing season, whichever comes first. Always use the recommended oil type specified in the manual.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content.
Ensure the tractor is off and the ignition key is removed. Elevate the mower deck, remove the blade bolts, and replace the blades. Tighten the bolts securely. Refer to the manual for specific torque specifications.
Check if the mower deck is level and adjust if necessary. Inspect the blades for damage or wear and replace them if needed. Ensure the tire pressure is even on all wheels.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and stabilize the fuel. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Lubricate all moving parts and cover the tractor to protect it from dust.
Ensure the tires are properly inflated and consider using tire chains for added traction. Reduce the mowing speed and avoid sharp turns on wet surfaces.
Check the transmission fluid level and top it off if necessary. If the problem persists, inspect the drive belt for wear and replace it if needed. Consult a professional if the issue continues.
Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and gently tap it to remove debris. If it is excessively dirty, wash it with a mild detergent and allow it to dry completely before reinstalling. Replace the filter if it shows signs of damage.
