Maintenance Tips

Replace the deck belt annually or every 100 hours of use, whichever comes first, to ensure optimal cutting performance.
Sharpen mower blades at least twice per season or whenever you notice a decrease in cut quality. Dull blades tear the grass, leading to brown tips and potential disease.
Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of operation. Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining engine health and longevity.
Before storing the ZTR1001 for the winter, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
