To start the tractor, ensure it is on a level surface. Sit in the operator's seat, engage the parking brake, and set the throttle to the 'fast' position. Turn the ignition key to the 'start' position until the engine begins running, then release the key.
Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel shutoff valve is open. Verify that the battery is charged and connections are clean. Inspect the spark plug for damage or wear and replace if necessary.
Regularly clean the cutting deck to prevent grass buildup. Sharpen the blades at least once per season or as needed. Check for any loose bolts or damage and replace worn parts.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for temperatures below 32°F. Always refer to the operator's manual for specific recommendations.
First, turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. Locate the belt tensioner and adjust it to ensure the belt has the correct tension. Refer to the manual for detailed instructions on the specific adjustment process.
Check the tire sidewall for the manufacturer's recommended pressure, typically around 10-14 psi for the front tires and 8-12 psi for the rear tires. Ensure all tires are inflated evenly for optimal performance.
Check if the blades are sharp and not bent. Ensure the tire pressure is equal on both sides. Adjust the deck level according to the manual's instructions.
Inspect the air filter every 25 hours of operation. Replace it if it appears dirty or damaged. Regular replacement is recommended every 100 hours or annually.
Check the oil level, air filter, spark plug, and belts. Inspect the tires, blades, and all safety features. Clean the tractor regularly and lubricate moving parts as necessary.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and top off the fuel tank with a stabilizer. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
