Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the deck belt for wear and tear. Replace the belt every 2-3 years, or sooner if you notice cracking or slipping.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen the mower blades at least twice a season to ensure a clean and efficient cut. Dull blades tear the grass, making it susceptible to disease.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or more frequently if you mow in dusty conditions. Clean filters are essential for engine performance and longevity.
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.
