Maintenance Tips

Check and replace belts regularly. Inspect for wear and tear, replacing every 200-300 hours of use or if cracks/damage are visible.
Sharpen mower blades at least twice per season to ensure a clean cut and prevent tearing of the grass. A dull blade can also strain the engine and belts.
Change the engine oil and filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations, typically every 50 hours of use or annually.
Before storing the LA115 for the winter, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and store the mower in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion.
