Ensure the transmission is in neutral, disengage the PTO, set the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to start the engine.
Use SAE 10W-30 oil that meets API service classification SJ or higher for optimal performance in most climates.
Change the engine oil every 50 hours of operation or at the beginning of each season, whichever comes first.
Use the height adjustment lever located near the operator's seat to set the desired cutting height. Ensure the tractor is on a level surface before adjusting.
Check the battery connections, ensure the fuel tank is not empty, verify the spark plug is in good condition, and make sure all safety switches are engaged.
Remove the air filter cover, take out the filter, and clean it with compressed air or replace it if it is too dirty or damaged.
The recommended tire pressure is typically 14 psi for the front tires and 10 psi for the rear tires, but check the operator's manual for specific details.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank, disconnect the battery, and store it in a dry, protected area.
Check the mower deck for levelness, ensure all blades are sharp and properly installed, and verify tires are inflated to recommended pressures.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting the air filter, checking tire pressure, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting belts and blades.
