To perform routine maintenance, regularly check and replace the oil, inspect the air filter, and ensure the tire pressure is correct. Refer to the owner's manual for specific intervals and procedures.
If the tractor won't start, check the battery connections, ensure there is fuel in the tank, and inspect the spark plug. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician.
Ensure that the mower deck is level and that the blades are sharp and not damaged. Adjust the tire pressure and check the deck height adjustment to resolve uneven cutting.
Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil that meets the API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, or higher, depending on the ambient temperature in your area.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer, and store it in a dry place. Disconnect the battery to prevent drainage during the off-season.
To change the blades, ensure the tractor is off and parked on a flat surface. Use a wrench to remove the blade bolts, replace the blades, and tighten the bolts securely.
Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure. Adjust it according to the specifications in the manual, which typically recommends 10-14 psi for front tires and 6-10 psi for rear tires.
Check the transmission fluid level and top it up if necessary. If the problem persists, inspect the drive belt for wear and replace it if needed.
Replace the air filter every 100 hours of operation or annually, whichever comes first, to ensure the engine runs efficiently.
Before operating, check that all safety guards are in place, inspect the brakes, and ensure that the seat is securely attached. Test the safety switches and lights for proper function.
