Maintenance Tips
- Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect deck and drive belts for wear and tear. Replace belts every 200-300 hours of operation or sooner if cracking or fraying is observed.
- Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least twice per mowing season or more frequently if you notice a decrease in cutting performance. Dull blades tear the grass instead of cutting cleanly.
- Filter Maintenance: Change the engine oil and filter annually, or every 50 hours of operation, to maintain engine health. Clean or replace the air filter every 25 hours.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil and filter, and disconnect the battery. Store the mower in a dry location.
