- Inspect belt tension and condition. Loose or worn belts can reduce throwing distance and overall efficiency. Replace belts when they show signs of wear or slippage.
- Perform regular oil changes according to the engine manufacturer's recommendations. Use the correct oil type and viscosity for your climate. Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the unit for the off-season.
