Check and replace belts annually or bi-annually: Inspect the deck and drive belts for wear and tear. Replace when cracked, frayed, or slipping to ensure optimal performance.
Sharpen mower blades regularly: Sharpen the blades every 25 hours of use, or more often if you mow in sandy or abrasive conditions, for a clean cut and healthier lawn.
Change engine oil and filters per manufacturer's recommendations: Regularly changing the oil and filters keeps the engine running smoothly and extends its life. Consult your owner's manual for specific intervals.
Prepare for seasonal storage: Before storing your mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and clean the mower deck to prevent rust and corrosion.
