- Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you mow in sandy or rocky conditions, to maintain a clean cut and prevent tearing the grass.
- Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or more often if you operate in dusty conditions, to keep the engine running smoothly and extend its lifespan.
