Ensure the tractor is on a flat surface. Insert the key into the ignition, press the brake pedal, and move the throttle to the half-speed position. Turn the key clockwise to start the engine.
Check if the battery is charged and properly connected. Ensure the fuel tank has sufficient fuel, and verify that the spark plug is clean and functioning.
Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing the oil filter, inspecting belts and blades, cleaning air filters, and lubricating moving parts as per the maintenance schedule in the manual.
Use SAE 30 or 10W-30 oil, depending on the ambient temperature. Always refer to the owner's manual for detailed specifications.
Disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Remove the mower deck and then the blades. Use a grinder or file to sharpen the blades, ensuring an even edge. Rebalance the blades before reinstalling.
Check if the blades are balanced and securely attached. Inspect the belts for wear and tension, and ensure all bolts are tightened. Examine the tires for proper inflation.
Ensure the deck is level and adjust if necessary. Check for dull blades and sharpen them if needed. Inspect the tire pressure and adjust to the recommended PSI.
Park the tractor on a level surface and turn off the engine. Remove the hydraulic fluid drain plug and collect old fluid in a container. Replace the plug and refill with recommended hydraulic fluid, checking the level with the dipstick.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, and add fuel stabilizer to the tank. Remove the battery and store it in a warm place. Inflate the tires to the recommended pressure and cover the tractor to protect it from dust.
Stop the tractor immediately and let it cool. Check the coolant level and refill if necessary. Inspect the radiator and cooling fins for debris and clean them. Ensure the fan belt is in good condition and properly tensioned.
