Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the mower 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 mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you mow over sandy or abrasive terrain. Dull blades tear the grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or every 50 hours of use. Clean air and oil keep the engine running smoothly and extend its life.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and disconnect the battery. This will prevent fuel system issues and ensure the mower starts easily in the spring.
