Maintenance Tips

Belt Inspection & Replacement: Inspect the deck and drive belts regularly for signs of wear, cracks, or fraying. Replace belts every 2-3 years, or sooner if damaged, to ensure proper operation and prevent slippage.
Blade Sharpening: Sharpen mower blades at least twice per mowing season, or more frequently if you notice uneven cutting or tearing of the grass. Dull blades stress the engine and can damage the lawn.
Filter Changes: Change the engine oil and air filter annually, or every 50 hours of use, to maintain engine performance and extend its lifespan. A clean air filter is crucial for efficient combustion.
Seasonal Storage: Before storing the mower for the winter, stabilize the fuel with a fuel stabilizer, disconnect the battery, and clean the mower deck to prevent corrosion. Store the mower in a dry, covered location.
