To change the oil, warm up the engine, stop the tractor, and remove the key. Place a container under the drain valve, open it, and let the oil drain. Replace the oil filter, then add new oil as specified in the manual.
First, check the battery connections and ensure they are clean and tight. Verify the fuel level and that the fuel valve is open. Inspect the spark plug and replace it if necessary.
Blades should be sharpened at least once per mowing season. However, the frequency may increase depending on the terrain and usage. Inspect the blades regularly for wear and damage.
Use clean, fresh, unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the cutting height lever on the tractor. Move the lever to the desired height setting, ensuring it locks into position.
Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level, air filter, and tire pressure, cleaning the mower deck, and inspecting belts and blades for wear.
To replace the air filter, remove the air filter cover, take out the old filter, and insert a new one. Ensure the filter is seated properly before replacing the cover.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced blades or debris lodged in the mower deck. Check and balance the blades, and clean the deck thoroughly.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, including the mower deck. Change the oil and remove the battery, storing it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Ensure the tires are properly inflated and consider adding wheel weights or using tire chains to improve traction on slopes. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for safe operation on slopes.
