Ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is off, and the transmission is in neutral. Insert the key and turn it to the start position until the engine fires up.
Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C). For temperatures below 32°F (0°C), SAE 5W-30 is recommended.
Check the battery connections, ensure the fuel tank is full, inspect the spark plug, and verify that the safety switches are engaged.
The air filter should be checked every 25 hours of operation and replaced if dirty. Under dusty conditions, inspect it more frequently.
Remove the blades by taking out the retaining bolt. Sharpen using a bench grinder, ensuring to maintain the original angle, and balance the blade before reinstalling.
First, disconnect the spark plug. Remove the mower deck and the belt guards. Slide the old belt off the pulleys and install the new belt, ensuring it is properly seated on all pulleys. Reattach the deck and guards.
Check for debris lodged in the mower deck, inspect the blades for damage, and ensure that the blades are balanced and securely fastened.
Keep the battery terminals clean and tight. In off-seasons, store the battery in a cool, dry place and charge it every 2 months to maintain its lifespan.
Use the cutting height adjustment lever located next to the seat. Move the lever to the desired height setting, ensuring the deck is level on both sides.
Check the transmission fluid level and top up if necessary. If the problem persists, inspect the drive belt for wear and replace if needed.
