To start the tractor, ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the gear is in neutral. Turn the ignition key clockwise to the start position until the engine starts, then release the key.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using ethanol blends higher than 10%.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use, and then every 50 hours thereafter, or annually, whichever comes first.
The recommended tire pressure is 12 PSI for the front tires and 10 PSI for the rear tires.
Check the battery connections, ensure the fuel valve is open, and verify that the spark plug is clean and properly connected. If issues persist, consult the user manual or a professional technician.
Regularly clean the mower deck to prevent grass build-up. Sharpen or replace blades as needed and lubricate the spindle bearings every 25 hours of operation.
Stop the tractor immediately and allow it to cool. Check the coolant level, radiator, and fan for blockages or leaks. Repair any issues before resuming use.
Locate the height adjustment lever near the operator's seat. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position, ensuring both sides are set equally.
Perform regular maintenance such as checking and changing the oil, cleaning or replacing the air filter, inspecting belts and blades, and lubricating moving parts.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, drain the fuel tank, and charge the battery fully. Store the tractor in a dry, sheltered location to protect it from the elements.
