Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the mower deck and drive belts for wear and tear. Replace belts every 200-300 hours of operation, or sooner if cracking or fraying is visible.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen or replace mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you mow in sandy or rocky conditions. Dull blades tear grass instead of cutting cleanly.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or every 50 hours of operation. A clean air filter improves engine performance and longevity.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your Z355R for the winter, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and clean the mower deck to prevent rust.
