Maintenance Tips

Belt Replacement: Inspect belts regularly for wear and tear. Replace deck belts every 100-200 hours of use, or sooner if cracked or frayed. Replace the drive belt every 200-300 hours.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least twice per mowing season, or more frequently if you encounter debris. Dull blades tear grass, leading to brown tips and potential disease.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and oil filter every 50 hours of operation. Replace the air filter every 25 hours under dusty conditions or every 50 hours under normal conditions.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the SLTX1050 for the winter, stabilize the fuel, change the oil and filter, grease all fittings, and disconnect the battery. Store in a dry location.
