Replace the air filter.Having a clean air filter will prevents dirt and debris from damaging the engine. Changing it at least once every mowing season is recommended.

Change the oil.The color of the oil should be golden or amber. Check it before and after each mow.

Check the blades. Dull blades will tear the grass rather than cutting it. If there are any dents or bends, replace the blade immediately.

Clean out the undercarriage.After every mow, clear away debris and grass clippings by using a hose.

Check the tire pressure.Poor and uneven cutting can result from tires with varying pressure.

Change out spark plugs.Spark plugs degrade over time and will require more fuel and increase emissions.

Replace the fuel filter.It should be replaced once per season
