Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the mower deck and drive belts for wear and tear. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or sooner if cracks or fraying are visible.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen the mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you notice decreased cutting performance. Dull blades tear grass, leading to brown tips and increased susceptibility to disease.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or every 50 hours of operation. Clean filters ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the L130 TRACTION for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and disconnect the battery. This prevents fuel degradation and ensures easy starting in the spring.
