Maintenance Tips
- Check and replace the mower deck belt every 200-300 hours of use, or annually, to maintain optimal cutting performance.
- Sharpen mower blades at least twice per season, or more frequently if you mow over sandy or abrasive surfaces, to ensure a clean cut and prevent tearing of the grass.
- Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of operation, and replace the air filter annually, to keep the engine running smoothly and efficiently.
- Before storing the X340 for the winter, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and store the mower in a dry, protected area to prevent damage from the elements.
