Maintenance Tips
- Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the deck belt and drive belt for wear and tear, cracks, or fraying. Replace every 200-300 hours of use, or sooner if damaged.
- Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades every 25 hours of use, or when you notice tearing or uneven cutting. Dull blades can damage the grass.
- Filter Maintenance: Change the engine air filter and oil filter annually, or more frequently if mowing in dusty conditions. This ensures optimal engine performance.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and disconnect the battery. Store in a dry location.
