Ensure the tractor is in neutral, the parking brake is engaged, and the PTO is off. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine starts.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F and 5W-30 for temperatures below 32°F. The engine oil capacity is approximately 3 quarts.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once per season, whichever comes first.
Check if the PTO switch is in the 'on' position and inspect the drive belts for wear or damage. Replace any damaged belts and ensure proper tension.
Ensure the battery is charged, check the fuel level, verify that the spark plug is functioning, and inspect for any blown fuses or loose connections.
Clean the battery terminals regularly, check the electrolyte level, and ensure the battery is fully charged, especially before storing for long periods.
Clean the tractor, change the oil, fill the fuel tank with stabilized fuel, disconnect the battery, and store the tractor in a dry, covered area.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol.
Use the height adjustment lever located near the operator's seat to set the desired cutting height, ranging from 1.5 to 4 inches.
Ensure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure, check if the blades are sharp and properly aligned, and inspect the deck for any obstructions.
