Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the mower deck belt and drive belt for wear, cracks, or fraying. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or sooner if damaged.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least twice a season for a clean and healthy cut. Dull blades tear the grass, making it susceptible to disease.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually or after every 50 hours of use. Clean air filters more frequently if mowing in dusty conditions.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and disconnect the battery. Store the mower in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion.
