Maintenance Tips
- Replace the deck belt and drive belt every 2-3 years, or more frequently if signs of wear are visible.
- Sharpen or replace mower blades annually, or after hitting a solid object. Dull blades tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly.
- 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 with a fuel stabilizer, disconnect the battery, and store the mower in a dry location.
