General Items Walk around the lawn tractor and check its general condition. Look
around and underneath it for signs of fluid leaks.
Remove any excessive dirt and debris, especially around the engine,
mower deck, and moving components. Look for signs of damage.
Check nuts, bolts, screws, and pins for tightness.
Keep all shields and covers in place while operating the lawn tractor.
If you find any problems, have them repaired before mowing.
