Maintenance Tips
- Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the deck belt for wear and tear. Replace the belt every 1-2 years, or sooner if cracks or fraying are visible.
- Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you mow over sandy or abrasive surfaces. A sharp blade ensures a clean cut and prevents damage to your lawn.
- Air Filter Maintenance: Clean or replace the air filter every 25 hours of operation, or annually. A clean air filter ensures proper engine performance.
