Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting the air filter, tightening loose bolts, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting belts and blades for wear. Refer to the user manual for specific maintenance intervals.
Use SAE 30 oil for general use. In colder climates, where temperatures fall below 40°F, SAE 5W-30 can be used. Always check the operator's manual for any specific recommendations.
Ensure the battery is charged and terminals are clean. Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. If problems persist, consult the manual or contact a professional.
Check the PTO (Power Take-Off) switch and ensure it is engaged. Inspect the belts for wear or damage. If necessary, adjust the belt tension or replace the belt. Refer to the manual for instructions.
Locate the air filter cover, remove it, and take out the old air filter. Insert a new filter and reattach the cover securely. It's recommended to check the filter every 25 hours of operation.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and fill the fuel tank with stabilized fuel. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Locate the cutting height adjustment lever near the operator's seat. Move the lever to the desired height setting. Ensure the deck is level for an even cut.
Check for debris lodged in the mower deck or blades. Ensure the blades are balanced and not bent. Inspect the deck belt for misalignment or wear. Tighten any loose bolts.
For optimal performance, change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each mowing season. Always use the recommended oil type and capacity.
Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them if necessary. Check the fluid levels in the battery cells and top up with distilled water if needed. If the battery is old, consider replacing it.
