Belt Replacement: Inspect belts regularly for wear and tear. Replace deck belts every 200-300 hours of use or as needed. Drive belts typically last longer but should still be checked annually.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least twice per season, or more frequently if you mow in sandy or rocky conditions. Dull blades tear the grass, leading to brown tips and increased susceptibility to disease.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or every 50 hours of use, to maintain optimal engine performance. A clean air filter is especially important.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil and filter, and disconnect the battery. Store the mower in a dry, protected location.
