Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting and replacing air filters, checking tire pressure, and sharpening the blades. Always refer to the owner's manual for detailed instructions and recommended maintenance schedules.
Ensure the tractor is in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and the PTO is off. Check the battery for charge, inspect the spark plug, and examine the fuel level. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician.
Check the tire pressure and ensure all tires are equally inflated. Inspect the mower deck for levelness and adjust as needed. Ensure the blades are sharp and not damaged.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and add a fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank. Store the tractor in a dry and sheltered area. Disconnect the battery to prevent discharge.
Locate the cutting height adjustment lever, typically on the right side of the tractor. Move the lever to the desired cutting height position. Ensure the mower deck is level after adjustment.
Check for debris blocking the air intake or cooling fins. Ensure the engine oil level is adequate. Inspect the radiator for any clogs. Allow the engine to cool before further inspection.
The air filter should typically be checked every 50 hours of operation and replaced if dirty or damaged. Regular replacement ensures optimal engine performance.
Use the oil type recommended in the owner's manual, usually a high-quality SAE 30 detergent oil. The choice may vary with temperature conditions and oil brands.
First, disconnect the spark plug and lift the mower deck. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolts, replace with new blades, and securely tighten the bolts. Ensure the blades are properly balanced.
Check the transmission fluid level and top up if necessary. Inspect the drive belt for wear or damage. If problems persist, consult a professional for a thorough diagnostic.
