Ensure the parking brake is engaged, the PTO is disengaged, and the throttle is set to the start position. Turn the ignition key to the start position until the engine begins to run.
Use SAE 10W-30 oil for the engine, ensuring it meets API service classification SF, SG, SH, SJ, or higher.
Check the battery connections, ensure there is fuel in the tank, check the spark plug for wear, and verify that the safety switches are functioning correctly.
Change the oil every 50 hours of operation or at the start of each mowing season, whichever comes first.
Park the tractor on a flat surface, remove the ignition key, disconnect the spark plug wire, lift the tractor with a jack, and use a wrench to remove the blade bolts. Replace with new blades and tighten securely.
Use the deck lift lever located on the right side of the tractor to adjust the deck to the desired cutting height. Ensure the deck is level from side to side.
Check for loose or damaged blades, ensure the deck is properly mounted, and inspect the drive belts for wear or misalignment.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level, cleaning the air filter, inspecting the belts, lubricating the chassis, and sharpening or replacing the mower blades as needed.
Ensure the blades are sharp and properly installed, check the tire pressure, and verify that the deck is level. Also, ensure the engine is running at full throttle.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank, disconnect the battery, and store the tractor in a dry, sheltered area.
