For optimal performance, use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once per season, whichever comes first.
Check the battery connections, ensure the fuel is fresh, inspect the spark plug for wear or damage, and verify that the safety switches are properly engaged.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, drain the fuel or add a stabilizer, inflate the tires to the recommended pressure, and store it in a dry, covered area.
Regularly sharpen the blades, ensure the deck is level, remove any debris buildup, and adjust the cutting height according to the grass type and condition.
Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid ethanol blends higher than E10.
Check for proper tire inflation, ensure the wheels are aligned correctly, and inspect the suspension components for damage or wear.
Check the transmission fluid level and quality, inspect the drive belt for wear, and ensure that the transmission control linkage is properly adjusted.
Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and clean it using compressed air or soap and water if it's a foam filter. Ensure it's completely dry before reinstalling.
Change the oil and filter, inspect and replace the spark plug if necessary, clean or replace the air filter, lubricate moving parts, and check all belts and hoses for wear.
