To change the oil, ensure the engine is warm, then turn off the tractor. Locate the oil drain valve, place a pan underneath, and unscrew the valve to let the oil drain completely. Replace the oil filter, close the valve, and refill with the recommended oil type and amount.
Check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure the fuel valve is open and there's enough fuel. Verify the spark plug is intact and clean. If necessary, replace the fuel filter and spark plug.
Sharpen the blades every 20-25 hours of use or at the beginning of each mowing season. Inspect the blades for nicks or dullness more frequently if mowing in rough conditions.
The recommended tire pressure is typically 10-14 psi for the front tires and 6-10 psi for the rear tires, but check the operator’s manual for exact specifications.
Ensure the blades are sharp and balanced. Adjust the cutting height to match the grass conditions. Regularly clean the underside of the deck to prevent grass buildup.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced blades, loose engine mounting bolts, or damaged belts. Inspect and tighten any loose components and replace damaged parts as needed.
To replace the drive belt, first disconnect the battery. Remove the mower deck and locate the drive belt. Release the tension on the belt, remove it, and install the new belt following the same path. Reattach the deck and reconnect the battery.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and add a fuel stabilizer. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Inflate the tires and cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Check that the mower deck is level. Ensure the tire pressure is equal on both sides. Examine the blades for sharpness and balance, and replace if necessary.
Use unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Avoid using ethanol blends higher than 10% to prevent engine damage.
