Check and replace belts (deck and drive) every 100-200 hours of use, or annually, to prevent slippage and maintain optimal performance.
Sharpen or replace mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you notice tearing of the grass rather than a clean cut.
Change the engine oil and filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations, typically every 25-50 hours of operation.
Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and clean the mower deck to prevent rust and corrosion.
