To change the oil, first run the engine for a few minutes to warm it up. Then, turn off the engine and remove the oil drain plug using a wrench. Allow the old oil to fully drain into a suitable container. Replace the drain plug securely, and then refill the engine with new oil as per the specifications in the user manual.
Check the battery connections to ensure they are clean and tight. Verify that the fuel tank has fresh gasoline and inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. If all else fails, consult the troubleshooting section of your manual or contact a professional technician.
It's recommended to sharpen the blades after every 25 hours of use or at the beginning of each mowing season to ensure a clean cut and maintain lawn health.
Use fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Make sure the fuel contains no more than 10% ethanol to avoid engine damage.
Keep the battery terminals clean and free from corrosion. During off-season storage, disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Consider using a battery maintainer to keep it charged.
At the end of the season, clean the mower deck, change the oil, inspect and replace the air filter if necessary, and store the tractor in a dry, sheltered area. Drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent deterioration.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever near the driver's seat. Move the lever to the desired cutting position, ensuring both sides are set to the same height for an even cut.
Check for debris lodged in the mower deck and remove it. Inspect the blades for damage or imbalance and replace if necessary. Ensure all bolts and fasteners are tightened properly.
Ensure the blades are sharp and properly installed. Check the ground speed; mowing too quickly can result in missed areas. Adjust the cutting height if the grass is too tall for the current setting.
Locate the air filter cover on the engine. Remove the cover and take out the old filter. Install a new filter that matches the specifications in your manual, then replace the cover securely.
