Ensure the mower is on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and make sure the blades are disengaged. Turn the ignition key to the 'Start' position until the engine starts, then release the key.
Check the fuel level and ensure fresh fuel is used. Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage, and clean or replace it if necessary. Verify that the battery is charged and the connections are clean and tight.
Regularly sharpen the blades for a clean cut. Adjust the cutting height to match the grass growth and avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade at once. Mow when the grass is dry for optimal performance.
Regularly check and change the engine oil, clean or replace the air filter, inspect the blades, and check tire pressure. Additionally, lubricate all moving parts as per the manufacturer's recommendations.
Run the engine for a few minutes to warm up the oil. Turn off the engine and remove the oil drain plug. Allow the old oil to drain completely, replace the drain plug, and refill with the recommended oil type and quantity.
Excessive vibration may be caused by unbalanced or damaged blades, loose parts, or engine issues. Inspect the blades for damage and ensure they are properly balanced. Tighten any loose components and consult the manual or a professional if the issue persists.
Ensure the tires are properly inflated and consider using tire chains for additional grip. Mow up and down slopes, not across, and avoid sudden changes in direction on slopes.
Clean the mower thoroughly to remove grass clippings and debris. Stabilize the fuel or drain it completely. Store the mower in a dry, covered location, and disconnect the battery to prevent discharge.
Refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions. Typically, you will need to remove the mower deck, release the belt tension, and replace the old belt with a new one, ensuring it is properly aligned with the pulleys.
Inspect the underside of the mower deck for grass buildup or obstructions. Ensure the deck is level and the blades are installed correctly. Check the engine speed and adjust it if necessary, as low engine speed can affect cutting performance.
