Belt Replacement: Inspect your deck and drive belts annually and replace them every 2-3 years, or sooner if you notice cracking, fraying, or slippage.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen your mower blades at least twice per season, or more frequently if you mow in sandy or abrasive conditions. Dull blades tear grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and filter annually, or every 50 hours of use, to ensure optimal engine performance and longevity. Clean or replace the air filter every 25 hours.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your X140 for the winter, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer, disconnect the battery, and store it in a cool, dry place.
