At The Station Power Equipment (TSPENY), we know how important your mower is—whether it’s for keeping your lawn looking sharp, maintaining commercial properties, or making sure your landscaping business runs smoothly. Regular maintenance not only extends the life of your mower but also ensures safer and more efficient performance.
1. Check & Change the Oil
Just like your car, your mower’s engine needs clean oil. Check levels before each use and change the oil at least once per season (or every 25 hours of operation). Dirty oil can cause unnecessary wear and shorten the engine’s lifespan.
2. Sharpen the Blades
Dull blades tear the grass instead of cutting it, leading to an uneven look and even stressing your lawn. Inspect and sharpen mower blades at least twice per season—or more often if you mow frequently.
3. Clean or Replace the Air Filter
A clogged air filter makes the engine work harder and reduces efficiency. Clean foam filters regularly and replace paper filters annually.
4. Battery & Spark Plug Care
For riding mowers, check the battery and connections to ensure a smooth start every time. Spark plugs should be replaced once a season for optimal ignition and fuel efficiency.
5. Inspect Tires & Belts
Properly inflated tires provide even cutting and smoother handling. Also, inspect belts for cracks or frays—they keep your mower running reliably.
5. Keep It Clean
After each mow, remove built-up grass clippings and debris. This prevents rust, clogs, and even fire hazards.
Pro Tip: Schedule an annual tune-up with our certified technicians at TSPENY to keep your mower in peak condition. We service all major brands and can spot issues before they turn into costly repairs.
