4: I won’t have to mow as often if I cut the grass short. MYTH
How much water your lawn needs depends on a variety of factors, including grass type, air temperature and soil type. Infrequent, deep irrigation is better than frequent, short watering. It results in grass with deeper, healthy roots and fewer diseases.

If you buy your gas at a gas station in North America then more than likely what you are buying contains corn-based ethanol. Because today’s gasoline contains ethanol and alcohol, it absorbs water if exposed to air. In many cases the operator is unaware that their gasoline has become contaminated with water and unintentionally pours it into their unit. This is because your fuel mixture will separate into layers if it contains a high enough percentage of water. If you don’t shake your mixture, you may unintentionally pour a damaging concentration of water into your unit. Always vigorously shake the fuel mixture immediately before pouring. Always stabilize your fuel to minimize this problem. Ethanol fuel or ethyl alcohol is an alcohol additive that is commonly used in nearly all gasoline. It is derived from renewable resources such as corn, sugarcane and wheat. We recommend using at least 89- octane which is the mid-grade between medium and premium gasoline. Fuel that is labelled E-15, E-20, E-85 and Diesel fuel are not acceptable fuels and will cause significant damage to outdoor power equipment. Possible Symptoms related to fuel: > engine is difficult to start > engine starts but doesn't run smooth > gas is leaking from carburetor > Cracked/damaged fuel line If any of these symptoms apply to your equipment, it may require a carburetor overhaul. After carburetor has been overhauled, follow the following preventative steps to avoid the problem in the future. PREVENTATIVE ACTION STEPS RECOMMENDED: 1. DO NOT use any old gas sitting in your fuel container for more than 30 days. 2. Get some premium (at least 89 octane) fresh fuel. Only get enough for the season. 3. Add fuel stabilizer into the fuel container as soon as you get the gas. (use stabilizer with advanced formula that can treat ethanol blend) 4. Storage procedure: a. Fill up gas tank to the top b. Add some more fuel stabilizer to the gas tank. c. Run machine for 2-3 minutes to circulate fuel. Store machine safely. To start your tractor, first, make sure your tractor is filled with the proper fuel and oil. After making sure you area is clear of debris or people, sit on the seat, set the parking brake and insert the key into the ignition. Before turning the key, check to make sure the transmission is in neutral and move the clutch engagement lever or switch to the designated position.
After moving the throttle to the choke position, you are ready to turn the ignition key and start the engine. Once the engine start, release the key and slowly bring the throttle control from the choke position into the full throttle position. The choke lever may be a separate lever. During cold weather, you may need to engage the choke for a few additional minutes or until the engine has warmed up.Remember, for your safety, the tractor has a safety sensor control which automatically shuts off the engine if you’re not sitting on the seat. To change your tractor’s oil, be sure your tractor is on a level surface and that you have clean-up materials and oil drain container and the oil drain tube that’s included with your tractor. First, find the oil drain valve located at the base of your tractor’s engine. Remove the valve cap and install the oil drain tube onto the fitting. With the container ready to catch the oil, unlock the drain valve by pushing it in and turning. Pull it out to start the oil flow. When the oil has completely drained, close and recap the drain valve to its locked position. Remove the oil filter by turning it counter-clockwise, be careful because oil may drip from the filter and you’ll want to have your clean up materials handy. Make sure the old gasket comes off with the filter otherwise, remove and clean the gasket area. Always dispose the used oil at an oil recycling center. Take the new oil filter and coat the gasket with fresh oil before installing it. Screw the filter onto the engine. Once the gasket makes contact with the engine, turn the filter three quarters to one full turn more to properly secure it. Refill the engine with your new oil through the oil-fill dipstick tube. Pour slowly and don’t over fill. Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the tube. When the oil reaches the “full” line, replace the cap dipstick and securely tighten it. You should change the oil in your tractor after every 50 hours of use or at least once a year. If the tractor is used more than 100 hours within 1 year, you should instead replace the oil filter with every season or during every other oil change. To maintain your air filter, begin by detaching the filter cover and removing the filter. Clean the filter with a small, soft brush. You should replace your filter as soon as possible after cleaning it since the act of cleaning a filter can sometimes damage it. As a general rule, if you’re not able to see light through the filter, replace it. Before replacing the filter and reattaching the cover, clean out any dirt or debris found in the filter location. Replacing your mower blades is a quick and easy maintenance step. To begin, raise the mower deck to the highest position. Be sure to wear appropriate hand protection such as heavy leather gloves and wrap the cutting edge of the blade with a heavy cloth. Using the recommended ratchet or socket, remove the blades by turning the bolt counter-clockwise. Before replacing your mower blades, make sure the fins of the blade point upwards to face the deck and mandrel assembly. Also, make sure to align the center hole with the star mandrel so that it fits securely. |
