To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired position corresponding to the cutting height you require. Refer to the manual for the specific height settings available.
If the engine won't start, check the battery connections for any corrosion or loose wires. Ensure the fuel tank has sufficient fuel and the fuel valve is turned on. Also, inspect the spark plug for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
It is recommended to change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each mowing season, whichever comes first. Always use the oil type specified in the user manual.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content to prevent engine damage.
Uneven cutting may be due to a dull blade, incorrect tire pressure, or uneven terrain. Sharpen the blade, check and adjust tire pressure, and mow over flat surfaces to ensure an even cut.
Check the air filter every 25 hours of operation and clean it as necessary. Replace the air filter if it appears damaged or excessively dirty to maintain optimal engine performance.
To improve traction, consider using wheel weights or tire chains. Always drive slowly and carefully on slopes, and ensure the tractor is in the correct gear for the terrain.
Excessive vibration may be caused by a bent or unbalanced blade. Inspect the blades and replace them if necessary. Also, check for loose bolts on the mower deck and tighten them.
Clean the tractor thoroughly and perform routine maintenance before storage. Drain the fuel or use a fuel stabilizer, and store the tractor in a dry, sheltered area. Disconnect the battery to prevent discharge.
After each use, remove grass clippings and debris from the mower deck to prevent buildup. Use a garden hose to wash the deck and allow it to dry completely before storing the tractor.
