Ensure the PTO is disengaged and the parking brake is set. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the 'Start' position while holding down the brake pedal. Release the key once the engine starts.
Use SAE 10W-30 oil for the engine. Make sure it meets the API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, or higher.
Change the engine oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once a season. Always replace the oil filter when changing the oil.
Check the battery connections, ensure there is fuel in the tank, and verify that the safety features (like the parking brake and PTO) are engaged correctly.
Use the height adjustment lever located on the right side of the seat. Move the lever to the desired cutting position, ensuring the deck is level.
Maintain front tire pressure at 14 PSI and rear tire pressure at 10 PSI for optimal performance.
Check that the mower deck is level, the blades are sharp and properly installed, and tire pressures are correct. Adjust the deck if necessary.
Remove grass clippings and debris using a garden hose. Avoid high-pressure water that might damage bearings. Dry the deck thoroughly to prevent rust.
Check the battery terminals for corrosion and clean them as needed. Ensure the battery is charged and fluid levels are correct if applicable.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and fill the fuel tank with a stabilizer. Disconnect the battery and store it in a dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
