The recommended oil type is SAE 30 for temperatures above 32°F and SAE 5W-30 for temperatures below 32°F. The oil capacity is approximately 2 quarts (1.9 liters).
To change the mower blades, ensure the engine is off and disconnect the spark plug. Raise the mower deck, use a wrench to remove the blade bolts, and replace the blades. Tighten the bolts securely before lowering the deck.
Check if there is fuel in the tank, ensure the battery is charged, inspect the spark plug for fouling, and verify that the safety switches are engaged. If these are all in order, consult the manual for further troubleshooting.
Basic maintenance should be performed every 25 hours of operation, including checking the oil level, cleaning the air filter, and inspecting the blades. A more comprehensive service should be conducted annually or after every 100 hours of operation.
Ensure that the mower blades are sharp and balanced, clean the underside of the mower deck to prevent grass buildup, and adjust the deck height to match grass type and conditions.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, remove the battery and store it in a dry place, and add a fuel stabilizer to the gas tank. Store the tractor in a dry, sheltered area.
Use a tire pressure gauge to check the pressure. The recommended pressure is typically 10-14 psi for the front tires and 6-10 psi for the rear tires. Adjust as necessary using a pump.
Check the PTO switch to ensure it is functioning correctly, inspect the PTO belt for wear or damage, and verify that all safety interlocks are in place. If problems persist, consult the service manual or a technician.
Check that the mower deck is level, ensure the blades are sharp and properly installed, and inspect the tires for even pressure. Uneven terrain can also contribute to uneven cutting.
Remove the air filter cover and take out the air filter. If it's a paper filter, tap it gently to remove debris. For foam filters, wash with soap and water, dry thoroughly, and apply a light coat of engine oil before reinstalling.
