Maintenance Tips
- Replace the mower deck belt every 2-3 years, or more frequently if you notice slippage or cracking.
- Sharpen the mower blades at least twice a season for a clean, healthy cut. Dull blades tear the grass, making it susceptible to disease.
- Change the engine oil and filter annually, or every 50 hours of use, to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
- Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel and disconnect the battery to prevent damage from corrosion.
