Check and replace the deck belt annually, or more frequently if signs of wear or cracking are present.
Sharpen the mower blades at least twice per season for a clean and healthy cut. Dull blades tear the grass, making it susceptible to disease.
Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year, using the recommended oil type.
Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel and disconnect the battery to prevent corrosion and ensure easy starting in the spring.
