Ensure the tractor is on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and place the throttle lever in the choke position. Turn the ignition key to the start position and release it once the engine starts.
Check the fuel level, ensure the battery is charged, and verify that the spark plug is not fouled. Also, make sure the safety features, like the parking brake, are engaged.
Change the oil after the first 5 hours of use and every 50 hours thereafter, or once per season, whichever comes first.
Use SAE 30 oil for temperatures above 40°F and SAE 5W-30 for temperatures below 40°F. Refer to the manual for specific recommendations.
Check the tire pressure to ensure it is equal on all sides, inspect the blades for wear or damage, and confirm that the deck is level.
After each use, remove grass clippings and debris using a brush or air blower. For thorough cleaning, use a garden hose with a spray nozzle and ensure the tractor is on a level surface.
Ensure the tractor is off and the key is removed. Lift the deck to access the blades, use a wrench to remove the blade bolts, replace the blades, and tighten securely.
Ensure the tires are properly inflated, avoid making sharp turns, and consider using tire chains or wheel weights for additional traction.
Check for debris stuck in the mower deck, inspect the blades for balance and damage, and ensure all bolts and nuts are tightened properly.
Regularly check and change the oil, replace or clean the air filter, inspect and replace the spark plug if necessary, lubricate moving parts, and check tire pressure.
