Maintenance Tips

Belt Inspection and Replacement: Regularly inspect the deck and drive belts for wear, cracks, or fraying. Replace belts every 2-3 years or sooner if signs of damage are present to ensure optimal performance.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen the mower blade at least once a season, or more frequently if you notice reduced cutting performance or torn grass. A sharp blade promotes healthy lawn growth.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or after every 50 hours of use, to maintain engine performance and longevity.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place.
