Maintenance Tips
- Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the deck belt and drive belt for wear and tear, such as cracks or fraying. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or sooner if signs of damage are present.
- Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least twice a season, or more often if you frequently mow in sandy or rocky conditions. Dull blades tear the grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn.
- Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or every 50 hours of use, to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
