Lawn Mower Maintenance

If you want your lawn mower to give you years of trouble free service, normal routine maintenance has to be done.  This includes the following:

• The oil and filter needs to be changed every 50 hours of use or once a year which ever comes first.  

•  The air filter needs to be checked every 25 hours of use or once a year and replaced if dirty.  

•  The spark plug should be inspected and cleaned every 50 hours. It should be replaced annually.  

• At the end of the mowing season the fuel tank should be completely drained of all fuel. (If fuel is left in the tank, fuel stabilizer needs to be added in order to preserve it.)

• This is also good time to clean under the mower deck and sharpen the mower blades. 

If you keep all of these steps in mind throughout the mowers usage, you will not only be ready for the next season, but the mower will be in good running order for years to come.
