Regular maintenance includes checking the oil level daily, inspecting the air filter weekly, sharpening blades monthly, and scheduling annual service checks with a professional technician.
Check the battery charge, ensure fuel levels are adequate, inspect spark plugs for wear, and verify that safety switches are engaged.
The recommended oil type is SAE 30 or 10W-30 for temperatures above 32°F (0°C) and SAE 5W-30 for colder conditions.
To replace the blades, ensure the tractor is turned off and the ignition key removed, lift the deck, secure the blade with a block of wood, and use a wrench to remove the blade bolt. Install the new blade by reversing these steps.
Uneven cutting may be caused by dull blades, an improperly leveled deck, or tire pressure inconsistencies. Ensure blades are sharp, the deck is level, and tires are evenly inflated.
Regular maintenance, proper storage, using clean fuel, and following manufacturer guidelines for operation contribute to the longevity of the tractor.
Clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, drain the fuel system or add a stabilizer, check antifreeze levels, and store in a dry, sheltered environment.
Adjust the cutting height by using the height-of-cut lever located near the operator's seat. Ensure the tractor is on a flat surface when making adjustments.
Wear appropriate safety gear, keep bystanders away, operate at a safe speed, and avoid mowing on steep slopes or in wet conditions.
Check for hydraulic fluid leaks, inspect hoses and connections, ensure the fluid level is correct, and listen for unusual noises from the hydraulic pump.
