Maintenance Tips

Belt Inspection: Regularly inspect the deck and drive belts for wear and tear. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or sooner if cracks or fraying are visible.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least once a season, or more frequently if you notice a decline in cutting performance. Dull blades tear grass instead of cutting it cleanly.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every 25-50 hours of operation).
Seasonal Storage: Before storing your Troy Bilt HORSE XP for the winter, stabilize the fuel, disconnect the battery, and clean the mower deck.
