Maintenance Tips for Riding Lawn Mowers

  • Change the oil on a regular schedule to ensure that your engine is easy to start
  • Change the oil after every 50 hours of operation or at the end of the season. Oil degrades over time and is only optimum for about 6 months.
  • Use fuel stabilizer in your gasoline. Especially if it sits in your gas tank or gas container for any length of time
  • When not using the riding lawn mower, start it once a month.
  • Ensure that the spark plug wire has a good connection to the spark plug
  • Always use the proper fuel as specified by the manufacturer
  • Starting the riding lawn mower keepsĀ  stabilized fuel in the fuel system.
  • Change the spark plug every two years or at the very least clean it every year.
  • Check air filter and clean it every season unless you are in very dusty conditions. Then check and clean it every month.

Following these basic steps will go a long way to making it much easier to start your riding lawn mower easily every time.
