Maintenance Tips

Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect your deck and drive belts for cracks, fraying, or wear. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or sooner if damage is observed.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen your mower blades at least twice a season to ensure a clean cut and prevent lawn damage. Dull blades tear grass, making it susceptible to disease.
Filter Maintenance: Change your engine oil and air filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Clean or replace the air filter every 25 hours of use, and change the oil every 50 hours.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your H1818B for the winter, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer, change the oil, and disconnect the battery. Store the mower in a dry location.
