Ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the transmission is in neutral. Insert the key and turn it to the 'start' position.
Check the battery for charge, ensure fuel valve is open, and verify that the safety switches are engaged.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each season, whichever comes first.
Use the height adjustment lever located on the tractor to raise or lower the deck to the desired cutting height.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol.
Check tire pressure, ensure the deck is level, and inspect the blades for sharpness and damage.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer, and store it in a dry, covered location.
Raise the mower deck, secure it safely, remove the blade bolts, and replace the blades. Ensure they are installed correctly.
Check for unbalanced blades, loose components, or damaged belts. Tighten or replace as necessary.
Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure. Inflate the tires to the manufacturer's recommended PSI, found in the owner's manual.
