Welcome to HEF, fresh !
The best thing you can do is get a copy of the operators manual. Everything you need to know about the operation and maintenance will be in it.
Change the transmission and hydraulic filters if you don't know when they were last changed.
If the engine oil looks really black change it and the the filter to.
Check the air filters to.
