To change the oil, ensure the engine is warm, place a drain pan under the oil plug, remove the plug, let the oil drain, replace the plug, and refill the engine with the recommended oil type and quantity.
Use SAE 30 oil in warmer climates or SAE 10W-30 in colder climates for optimal engine performance. Consult the owner's manual for detailed recommendations.
Check the battery connections, ensure the fuel tank is not empty, inspect the spark plug for damage, and ensure the safety switches are engaged properly.
Inspect the PTO switch and wiring, check the mower deck belt for wear or damage, and ensure the deck is properly mounted and the linkage is intact.
Sharpen the blades every 25 hours of use or whenever you notice a decline in cutting performance. Always balance the blades after sharpening to prevent vibration.
The recommended tire pressure is typically around 10-14 psi for the front tires and 8-12 psi for the rear tires. Refer to the operator's manual for exact specifications.
Keep the battery terminals clean and free of corrosion, check the electrolyte level regularly, and ensure the battery is fully charged during long periods of inactivity.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank, remove the battery, and store it in a dry, sheltered place with a cover.
Locate the air filter housing, remove the cover, take out the old air filter, insert the new filter, and securely replace the cover. Ensure the filter is seated properly.
To adjust the cutting height, move the lever located near the seat to the desired height. Ensure the tractor is on a flat surface for accurate adjustment.
