To improve cutting performance, regularly sharpen the mower blades, clear any debris from the deck, and adjust the cutting height to suit the grass condition.
To replace the mower blades, first disconnect the spark plug for safety. Lift the tractor and secure it. Remove the blade bolts, replace the blades, and ensure they are tightly secured before lowering the tractor.
Excessive vibration may be caused by unbalanced blades or worn bearings. Check and balance the blades or replace them if necessary. Inspect belts and bearings for wear and replace them if needed.
