To change the oil, locate the oil drain plug underneath the engine. Place an oil pan underneath, remove the plug, and allow the oil to drain completely. Replace the plug, and fill the engine with the recommended oil type and quantity as per the user manual.
Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87 or higher. Avoid using gasoline with more than 10% ethanol content to prevent engine damage.
Check the battery connections for corrosion, ensure the battery is fully charged, and inspect the spark plug for wear or damage. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for further diagnostics or contact a professional technician.
The recommended tire pressure is typically between 12-15 PSI for the rear tires and 10-12 PSI for the front tires. Refer to the tire sidewall or user manual for exact specifications.
Blades should be sharpened at least once per mowing season or more frequently if you notice uneven cutting or tearing of grass. Always disconnect the spark plug before performing maintenance on the blades.
Excessive vibration may be caused by unbalanced blades, loose components, or damaged belts. Check for debris buildup around the blades, ensure all nuts and bolts are tightened, and inspect the belts for wear.
Remove the air filter cover, take out the air filter, and gently clean it with compressed air or replace it if it's too dirty or damaged. Ensure the filter is dry before reinstalling.
Before storage, clean the tractor thoroughly, change the oil, fill the fuel tank with stabilized fuel, disconnect the battery, and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the tractor to protect it from dust and moisture.
Adjust the cutting height by using the lever located near the driver's seat. Move the lever to the desired position, ensuring the deck is level for an even cut.
Ensure the drive belt is not worn or damaged, check the tire pressure, and inspect the transmission fluid level. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.
