Maintenance Tips

Belt Replacement: Inspect drive and deck belts regularly for wear and tear. Replace belts every 200-300 hours of operation or as soon as cracks or fraying appear.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least twice a season, or more frequently if you mow in sandy or rocky conditions. Dull blades tear grass and reduce cut quality.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every 50 hours or annually). Clean air filters more frequently if operating in dusty conditions.
