Maintenance Tips

Belt Replacement: Inspect the deck belt and drive belt annually and replace them every 2-3 years, or sooner if you notice cracking, fraying, or slippage.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen the mower blade at least once a season, or more frequently if you mow over sandy or abrasive soil. Dull blades tear the grass and can damage the lawn.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually to maintain optimal engine performance and prolong engine life.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and store the mower in a dry place.
