Maintenance Tips
- Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the drive belt and deck belt for wear, cracks, or fraying. Replace belts every 1-2 seasons, or sooner if needed, to ensure proper power transfer to the wheels and blades.
- Blade Sharpening: Sharpen or replace the mower blade at least once a year, or more often if you frequently mow in sandy or abrasive conditions. A sharp blade will provide a cleaner cut and reduce stress on the engine.
- Air Filter Maintenance: Clean or replace the air filter every 25 hours of operation, or at least once a season. A clean air filter ensures proper engine performance and extends engine life.
- Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, drain the fuel tank or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel degradation. Clean the mower deck and lubricate moving parts to prevent rust and corrosion.
