Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the deck and drive belts for wear and tear. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or sooner if cracks or fraying are visible.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen the mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you notice a decline in cutting performance. Dull blades tear the grass, making it susceptible to disease.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or every 50 hours of use, to maintain optimal engine performance.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and disconnect the battery. Clean the mower deck to prevent rust.
