Belt Replacement: Inspect belts regularly for wear and tear. Replace the deck belt and drive belt every 2-3 years, or sooner if you notice slippage or cracking.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen the mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you mow over abrasive surfaces like sand or gravel. Dull blades tear grass instead of cutting it cleanly.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of operation, or at least once a year. A clean air filter also ensures optimal engine performance.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
