Springtime Lawn Mower Maintenance Tips

If you added a fuel stabilizer last fall, empty it. While it’s empty, change the oil.
Check your spark plug. Changing it every other year.
After each mowing, rinse or blow off the grass and dirt.
Sharpen your blade every other month during the mowing season. Your mower will last longer if you don’t leave behind wet grass and clumps of dirt.
Add fresh gas after each use.
Check the oil after every use.

If you have a riding mower, add the following:

Check the belt for cracks and fraying.
Check the pulley. Replace the belt if necessary.
Add grease to all of the wheels, the differential, and the blade as needed.
