To perform an oil change, ensure the engine is off and cool. Drain the old oil by removing the drain plug. Replace the oil filter, and refill with the recommended oil type and quantity as per the owner's manual.
Check the battery connections for corrosion or looseness, ensure fuel is in the tank, and verify that the ignition switch is functioning properly. If these steps don't work, consult a professional.
The air filter should be checked every 25 hours of operation and replaced if dirty. It's best practice to replace it at least once per season or as specified in the owner's manual.
Refer to the sidewall of the tires or the operator's manual for the manufacturer's recommended tire pressure, typically around 20 psi. Ensure tire pressure is checked regularly for optimal performance.
Check if the mower deck is correctly leveled. Inspect the blades for sharpness or damage and ensure they are mounted securely. Consider adjusting the deck height as per the manual's instructions.
Ensure the cooling fins are clean and free of debris, check for proper coolant levels, and make sure the fan is operational. Overheating can also be caused by a failing thermostat or water pump.
Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Keep it charged using a trickle charger. Clean the terminals and apply a light coating of petroleum jelly to prevent corrosion.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid gasoline with more than 10% ethanol to prevent damage to the engine components.
Clean the tractor, perform all routine maintenance, add a fuel stabilizer, and store it in a dry, covered location. Disconnect the battery and cover the tractor to protect it from dust and debris.
Check the PTO switch and wiring for any faults. Ensure the PTO clutch is not worn out and that the belt driving the PTO is properly tensioned and intact. Consult a professional if needed.
