Engine service items
Oil condition, the spark plug, air filter, and fuel system are common starting points. A machine that has been sitting with old gasoline may need more than a new plug and fresh fuel.
- Oil level and condition
- Spark plug and ignition
- Air filter
- Fuel age and visible leaks
Cutting and drive components
Mower performance also depends on blades, belts, pulleys, cables, and engagement parts. Strong vibration, a belt that keeps coming off, or blades that will not engage should be described as a repair symptom, not treated as routine maintenance.
- Blade edge and visible damage
- Belts and pulleys
- Controls and engagement parts
Schedule before the machine is urgently needed
A seasonal check leaves time to identify worn parts and discuss whether additional work makes sense before the mower is needed every week. Send the equipment type, make, model, and known symptoms before drop-off.
