To change the oil, first ensure the tractor is on a level surface. Remove the oil fill cap, place a pan under the drain plug, and remove the plug to drain the oil. Replace the plug, change the oil filter, and fill with new oil as specified in the manual.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using ethanol blends higher than 10% to prevent engine damage.
Check the battery connections and charge if necessary. Ensure there's fuel in the tank and the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug for wear and replace if needed. Verify that the safety switches are engaged properly.
Check the drive belt for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Inspect the PTO switch and wiring for any issues. Make sure the deck engagement lever is working correctly.
Sharpen the mower blades after every 25 hours of use or at the beginning of each mowing season to ensure a clean cut and healthy lawn.
Refer to the owner's manual for the specific recommended tire pressure, usually around 10-14 psi for the front tires and 6-10 psi for the rear tires.
Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and gently tap it to remove dirt and debris. If it's excessively dirty, replace it with a new one. Never use compressed air to clean the filter.
Check for loose or damaged blades or pulleys. Inspect all belts for proper tension and wear. Ensure the engine mounting bolts are tight. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and add a fuel stabilizer to the tank. Store the tractor in a dry, sheltered location and disconnect the battery to prevent discharge.
Check the air filter for clogging, inspect the fuel system for blockages, and ensure the spark plug is in good condition. Also, examine the drive belts for slippage or wear.
