Check and replace the mower deck belt annually or after every 100 hours of use to ensure optimal cutting performance.
Sharpen the mower blades at least twice a season, or more often if you mow in sandy or abrasive conditions, to maintain a clean cut and prevent lawn damage.
Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year, using the recommended oil type and filter specified in your owner's manual.
