Belt Replacement: Inspect deck and drive belts regularly, replacing them every 2-3 years, or sooner if cracked or worn, to maintain optimal cutting performance.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you notice tearing of the grass, for a clean and healthy cut.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and filter annually, or every 50 hours of use, to ensure proper engine lubrication and longevity. Air filter should also be checked and cleaned or replaced as needed.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and store the mower in a dry location to prevent corrosion and fuel system issues.
