Ensure the tractor is in neutral, engage the parking brake, and turn the ignition key to start the engine. Make sure the PTO is disengaged before starting.
Check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the fuel tank has fuel, check the spark plug for wear, and verify that the safety switches are engaged properly.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once per season. Always use the manufacturer-recommended oil type.
Refer to the user manual for exact specifications, but typically the rear tires should be inflated to 12-15 PSI and the front tires to 10-12 PSI.
Ensure the mower deck is level, check the blades for sharpness and damage, and clean any debris from the underside of the deck.
Check the transmission fluid level regularly and change it according to the service manual schedule. Inspect for any leaks or unusual noises.
Locate the air filter housing, remove the cover, replace the old filter with a new one, and reattach the cover securely. Ensure the seal is tight to prevent dirt entry.
Check the PTO switch and wiring for any faults, ensure the safety switches are operational, and inspect the PTO clutch for wear or damage.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add a fuel stabilizer, disconnect the battery, and store it in a dry, covered area. Inflate the tires to recommended PSI to prevent flat spots.
Signs include slow engine cranking, dim lights, and the need for frequent jump-starts. Test the battery voltage and replace if it falls below 12 volts.
