To start the tractor, ensure it is on a level surface. Engage the parking brake, set the throttle to half, and turn the ignition key to the start position. Release the key once the engine starts.
Check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the fuel level is sufficient, and verify that the spark plug is in good condition. If the problem persists, consult the manual or a professional technician.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once per season to ensure optimal performance.
Use SAE 30 oil for general use in temperatures above 40°F. For colder conditions, SAE 5W-30 is recommended.
Ensure the mower deck is level, blades are sharp, and tire pressure is equal on all sides. Adjust the deck height as needed.
Ensure the tractor is off and the blades have stopped moving. Use a wrench to remove the mounting bolt, then replace the blade and secure the bolt. Refer to the manual for specific instructions.
Regularly check the oil level, air filter, spark plug, belts, and tire pressure. Additionally, inspect the blades and deck for wear and clean any debris.
Keep the engine properly tuned, maintain clean air filters, ensure tires are properly inflated, and avoid idling to improve fuel efficiency.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, fill the fuel tank, and add a fuel stabilizer. Disconnect the battery and store it in a dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Locate the seat adjustment lever beneath the seat, pull it to release the seat lock, and slide the seat to the desired position. Release the lever to lock the seat in place.
