To change the oil, first warm up the engine, then turn it off. Place a container under the oil drain valve, open the valve, and allow the old oil to drain completely. Replace the oil filter and add new oil as specified in the manual.
Check the fuel level and ensure the fuel valve is open. Verify that the battery is charged and the spark plugs are clean. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps.
Mower blades should be sharpened at least once per mowing season. However, if you notice uneven cutting or tearing of grass, it may be necessary to sharpen them more frequently.
The recommended tire pressure can vary, so refer to the sidewall of the tire or the tractor's manual for the correct specifications. Generally, front tires are around 14 psi and rear tires around 10 psi.
Clean the tractor thoroughly and perform an oil change. Add a fuel stabilizer to the tank and run the engine for a few minutes. Remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades, loose hardware, or worn-out belts. Inspect the blades and belts for damage or wear, and tighten any loose bolts or fasteners.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol to prevent engine damage.
To adjust the cutting height, locate the height adjustment lever or knob on the mower deck. Move the lever to the desired height setting, ensuring both sides are set equally for an even cut.
Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the oil, inspecting the air filter, sharpening the blades, checking tire pressure, and lubricating moving parts as specified in the manual.
Uneven cutting can be caused by unlevel mower deck, dull blades, or incorrect tire pressure. Ensure the deck is level, blades are sharp, and tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.
