How do I maintain my lawn mower?

Change the oil annually or every 50 hours of use. Replace or sharpen the blade at least once per season; a dull blade tears grass instead of cutting it cleanly. Clean the underside of the deck after each use to prevent grass buildup. Replace the air filter and spark plug annually. Use fresh fuel and add stabilizer for winter storage. Proper maintenance extends your mower's life significantly.

Why It Matters

A well-maintained mower cuts cleaner, starts easier, and lasts years longer than a neglected one, saving you money on repairs and replacement.
