Maintenance Tips

Belt Inspection and Replacement: Check your deck and drive belts regularly for wear and tear. Replace belts every 100-200 hours of use, or sooner if you notice cracking or fraying.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen your mower blades at least twice a season, or more often if you mow frequently or in sandy conditions. Dull blades tear the grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn.
Filter Changes: Change your engine oil and air filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations, typically every 25-50 hours. A clean air filter ensures proper engine performance and longevity.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your ZTR502 for the winter, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer, change the oil and filter, and disconnect the battery. Store the mower in a dry, covered location.
