Change Engine Oil: Replace the engine oil every 50 hours of operation or at least once a year to maintain engine performance and longevity.
Sharpen or Replace Mower Blades: Sharpen mower blades every 25 hours of use or replace them annually to ensure a clean and efficient cut. Dull blades tear the grass, leading to browning and potential disease.
Inspect and Replace Belts: Check the mower deck belt and drive belt regularly for wear or cracking. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or sooner if damage is observed, to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
