Proper maintenance of your riding lawn mower will keep it performing reliably for years.
Step 1: Know the key maintenance steps. For most riding lawn mowers, the four key maintenance steps are: changing the oil and filter, inspecting and replacing the spark plug, replacing or cleaning the air filter, and lubricating the grease fittings. Complete all four maintenance steps to keep the mower running well.
Before performing any maintenance or repairs on a riding mower, disengage the power take-off, set the parking brake, stop the engine and remove the keys. Review the detailed instructions and safety warnings in the owner’s manual before servicing it.
