Belt Inspection & Replacement: 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, to ensure optimal performance.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen the mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you mow over sandy or abrasive surfaces. Sharp blades provide a cleaner cut and reduce stress on the engine.
Filter Maintenance: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or every 50 hours of use, to maintain engine efficiency and longevity. Clean the pre-cleaner on the air filter more frequently, especially in dusty conditions.
