Ensure the mower is on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, set the throttle to 'fast', turn the ignition key to start the engine, and gradually release the parking brake.
Check the fuel level, ensure the battery is charged, inspect the spark plug for wear, and make sure the safety switches are engaged.
Sharpen the mower blades after every 25 hours of use or at the beginning of each mowing season for optimal performance.
Perform regular maintenance every 25 hours of use, including checking the oil level, cleaning the deck, inspecting belts, and lubricating pivot points.
Check for tire pressure consistency, ensure the deck is level, inspect the blades for sharpness and damage, and adjust the cutting height settings if needed.
Regularly clean or replace the air filter, use fresh fuel, maintain proper tire pressure, and avoid mowing with a full grass bag to reduce weight.
Use a high-quality SAE 10W-30 oil that meets the API service classification SJ or higher for optimal performance.
Safely lift the mower, use a hose to spray off grass clippings, and scrape away any stubborn debris with a plastic scraper. Ensure the deck is dry before storing.
Check for loose bolts and fasteners, inspect the blades for damage or imbalance, and examine the engine mounting for tightness.
Drain the fuel tank, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry place, clean the mower thoroughly, and cover it to protect against dust and moisture.
