Tips For Mid-Season Maintenance
Help keep your riding lawn mower at peak performance throughout the season with regular maintenance checkups. Midway through the year is the perfect time to inspect your Cub Cadet® equipment. Staying proactive on routine maintenance helps prevent larger issues from disrupting your lawn care regimen, and potentially avoid costly repairs. It also helps ensure that your Cub Cadet equipment continues to operate efficiently.
Before you start, make sure you have the right tools and materials on hand. You can consult your owner’s manual for model-specific instructions. Always be sure to adhere to the safety guidelines outlined in your owner’s manual.
Now is a good time to take stock of what replacement parts you have on hand and restock as necessary, especially if you end up needing to replace anything — like an air filter or spark plug. Cub Cadet Genuine Parts are specifically designed for a precise fit, optimal performance, and safety.
Here are some key things to look out for when performing a routine check:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Check the oil levels and change the oil if necessary.
2. Clean or replace the air filter to ensure proper airflow to the engine.
3. Inspect the spark plug and replace it if signs of wear or damage are present.
4. Sharpen or replace dull blades for a clean and precise cut.
5. Check tire pressure and adjust as needed for optimal traction and maneuverability.
6. Tighten any loose bolts or screws to help prevent vibrations during operation.
7. Inspect belts, cables, and pulleys for signs of wear and tear.
8. Lubricate moving parts to help reduce friction and extend their lifespan.
9. Give your mower a thorough wash to remove dirt build-up that can affect performance.
Taking the time to inspect various components regularly will help ensure that it continues to perform at an efficient level. Routine maintenance also helps identify and address potential issues before they become bigger, and potentially costly, problems.
