Check and replace belts annually or every 100 hours of operation, whichever comes first. Inspect for wear and tear regularly.
Sharpen mower blades at least twice a season, or more frequently if you mow in sandy or rocky conditions. Dull blades tear grass, making it susceptible to disease.
Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of operation, or at least once a year before winter storage. Use the oil type specified in your owner's manual.
Before storing your mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer to prevent gumming and corrosion in the fuel system.
