What maintenance should be performed regularly on the LB 256SP?

Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing the air filter, inspecting and changing the spark plug, sharpening the blades, and cleaning the underside of the deck to prevent grass buildup. Always consult the user manual for specific maintenance intervals and procedures.
