Maintenance Tips
- 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 mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you notice a decrease in cutting performance. Dull blades tear the grass, leading to brown tips and unhealthy lawns.
- Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually or after every 50 hours of use. Clean or replace the pre-cleaner more frequently if operating in dusty conditions.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and disconnect the battery. This will prevent fuel degradation and ensure easy starting in the spring.
