Maintenance Tips

Regular Belt Inspection: Check your deck and drive belts regularly for wear and tear. Replace them every 2-3 years, or sooner if you notice cracking, fraying, or slippage.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen your mower blades at least twice a season, or more often if you mow frequently or encounter sandy soil. Dull blades tear the grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn.
Filter Changes: Change your engine oil and air filters annually, or every 50 hours of use. Clean air and oil keep your engine running smoothly and extend its lifespan.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your LT133 for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and disconnect the battery. This will help prevent starting problems and corrosion.
