Ensure the parking brake is engaged, the transmission is in neutral, and the throttle is set to choke. Turn the ignition key to start the engine.
The recommended maintenance schedule includes checking the oil and air filter before each use, changing the oil every 50 hours of operation, and inspecting the blades and belts monthly.
Check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the spark plug is in good condition, verify fuel levels, and inspect the safety switches to ensure they are not engaged.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for temperatures below 32°F (0°C). Always check the owner's manual for specific recommendations.
Ensure the tractor is off and the spark plug is disconnected. Lift the mower deck and use a wrench to remove the blade bolts. Replace with new blades and tighten securely.
Check the drive belt for wear or damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the transmission fluid is at the proper level and inspect for any leaks.
Regular maintenance such as keeping the air filter clean, ensuring the tires are properly inflated, and using fresh, clean fuel can improve fuel efficiency.
The recommended tire pressure is usually 10-14 psi for the front tires and 8-10 psi for the rear tires. Check the owner’s manual for exact specifications.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer, and store it in a dry, sheltered area. Disconnect the battery and keep it charged throughout the winter.
Check if the mower blades are dull or damaged and sharpen or replace them as needed. Ensure the mower deck is clean and the grass height is appropriate for cutting.
