Maintenance Tips

Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the deck and drive belts for wear and tear, such as cracking or fraying. Replace belts every 200-300 hours of operation or when damage is evident to prevent slippage and maintain optimal performance.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen or replace the mower blades every 25 hours of use, or more frequently if mowing in sandy or abrasive conditions. Dull blades tear the grass, leading to an uneven cut and increasing the risk of lawn diseases.
Filter Maintenance: Change the engine oil and air filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations, typically every 50-100 hours. Clean or replace the air filter more often in dusty conditions.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the HW36B for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and grease all moving parts. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. This will help prevent corrosion and ensure the mower is ready to start in the spring.
