Maintain the engine by regularly changing the oil and air filter, keeping the blades sharp, and ensuring the tires are properly inflated. Avoid mowing at full throttle unless necessary and reduce idling time.

Excessive vibration can be caused by unbalanced blades, debris lodged in the mower deck, or loose parts. Check for and clear any obstructions, tighten loose bolts, and inspect the blades for damage or imbalance.

How do I clean the mower deck to prevent grass build-up?

After each use, clean the deck by scraping off grass clippings and debris. You can also use a hose to wash off the underside, ensuring the mower is turned off and stable. Dry the deck to prevent rusting.

The recommended tire pressure is typically between 10-15 PSI for the rear tires and 12-20 PSI for the front tires. Refer to the mower’s manual for exact specifications.
