Maintenance Tips
- Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the mower deck belt and drive belt for wear and tear. Replace belts every 200-300 hours of use, or sooner if cracks or damage are visible.
- Blade Sharpening: Sharpen or replace mower blades every 25 hours of use, or at least once per season. Dull blades tear grass, leading to an unhealthy lawn.
- Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and filter every 50 hours of use, and the air filter every 100 hours. Clean air and oil ensure optimal engine performance and longevity.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the X360 for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil and filter, grease all fittings, and disconnect the battery. This will prevent fuel degradation and corrosion during storage.
