Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting and replacing the air filter, checking tire pressure, and ensuring the battery is charged and terminals are clean. Refer to the owner's manual for a detailed maintenance schedule.
Check the battery to ensure it's charged, inspect the spark plugs for wear or damage, and ensure there is fresh fuel in the tank. Also, check the safety interlock system to make sure it's engaged properly.
Ensure that the mower deck is level and that the blades are sharp and not damaged. Check tire pressure to ensure it's even across all wheels. Adjust the deck lift links if necessary.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for colder conditions. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific oil recommendations.
Inspect the air filter every 25 hours of operation and replace it annually or as needed if it appears dirty or damaged.
Park the tractor on a flat surface and measure the distance from the blade tips to the ground. Adjust the deck lift links to ensure the deck is level, with the front slightly lower than the rear for optimal cutting.
Check the transmission fluid level and ensure it is filled to the manufacturer's specifications. If the problem persists, inspect the drive belt for wear or damage and replace it if necessary.
Consider using tire chains or weights to improve traction. Ensure the tires are inflated to the correct pressure and check for any debris or mud that might reduce traction.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Check to ensure the blades are balanced and not bent. Inspect all hardware to ensure it is tight, and check the drive belt for wear. Replace any damaged components.
