Replace the deck belt every 200-300 hours of use, or sooner if you notice signs of wear or damage.
Sharpen the mower blades at least twice per season to ensure a clean and healthy cut. Dull blades tear the grass, making it susceptible to disease.
Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of operation, or at least once a year. Use the recommended oil type and filter for your engine.
Before storing your mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel-related problems.
