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 cracking or fraying is evident.
- Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you mow over sandy or abrasive soil. Dull blades tear grass, leading to browning and increasing the risk of disease.
- Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and oil filter every 50 hours of use. Clean or replace the air filter every 25 hours, or more often in dusty conditions.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the X580 for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil and filter, lubricate all grease fittings, and disconnect the battery. Store the mower in a dry, covered location.
