Belt Replacement: Inspect belts regularly for wear and tear. Replace the deck belt every 200-300 hours of use, or sooner if cracks or fraying are visible.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least twice per season, or more frequently if you mow in sandy or rocky conditions. Dull blades tear grass, making it more susceptible to disease.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter every 50 hours of use, or at least once per year. Clean filters improve engine performance and longevity.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil and filter, and lubricate all moving parts. Store the mower in a dry, sheltered location.
