Maintenance Tips

  • Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect your deck and drive belts for wear and tear. Replace every 200-300 hours of use, or sooner if cracks or fraying are visible.
  • Blade Sharpening: Sharpen your mower blades every 25 hours of use, or when you notice a decrease in cutting performance. Dull blades can tear grass and damage your lawn.
  • Air Filter Replacement: Replace the air filter every season or after 100 hours of use, whichever comes first. A clean air filter ensures optimal engine performance.
