Change engine oil and filter: Change the engine oil and filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every 50 hours of use). This keeps the engine running smoothly and extends its lifespan.
Prepare for seasonal storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil, and disconnect the battery to prevent damage during the off-season.
