Belt Replacement: Inspect belts regularly for wear and tear. Replace deck belts every 200-300 hours of use or if cracks, fraying, or slippage are detected.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least twice per season, or more frequently if you mow in sandy or rocky conditions. Dull blades tear the grass and can damage the lawn.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of operation, or at least once a year before storing the mower for the winter. Clean or replace the air filter every 25 hours.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for winter, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and store the mower in a dry place. Clean the mower deck to prevent corrosion.
