Maintenance Tips

Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the mower deck and drive belts for wear and tear. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or sooner if you notice cracks, fraying, or slippage.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen your mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you mow over sandy or rocky terrain. Dull blades tear grass, leading to brown tips and unhealthy lawns.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or every 50 hours of operation, to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your X130R for the winter, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer, disconnect the battery, and clean the mower deck to prevent rust and corrosion.
