Check the tire pressure to ensure all tires are equally inflated. Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage; sharpen or replace them if needed. Verify that the mower deck is level and adjust if necessary.

What maintenance is required for the blades?

Blades should be checked regularly for sharpness and damage. Sharpen the blades every 25 hours of use or more frequently if mowing over rough terrain. Replace blades that are bent or excessively worn.

How can I improve the fuel efficiency of my mower?

Maintain the engine by regularly changing the oil and air filter. Keep the blades sharp to reduce engine load. Mow at optimal speed and avoid overloading the mower with thick or wet grass.

Inspect the blades for balance and damage. Check that all mounting bolts are tight and secure. Examine the belts and pulleys for wear or misalignment. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician.

Clean the mower thoroughly and perform all recommended maintenance. Drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer. Disconnect the battery and store it in a cool, dry place. Cover the mower to protect it from dust and moisture.
