Manufacturer recommendations may vary, but most of them say to change the oil when the mower has been used for 25 hours. That can work out to once every year for some people, so they can change the mower oil each spring.<\/li>\n<li>Your lawn mower blade should be sharpened on a regular basis. If a mower blade is dull, it\u2019ll shred the lawn, resulting in a brown or frayed appearance and leaving the grass vulnerable to lawn disease.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Annual lawn mower maintenance checks should include making sure every nut and bolt is tightened and all filters, safety shields and belts are in their proper places.<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Regularly clean intake screens and fans to help the lawn mower continue to operate correctly.<\/li>\n<li>Lawn Doctor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/lawrenceville-ga\/lawn_mower_maintenance\/\">Lawn Mower Maintenance Service<\/a>\u00a0can assist you in winterizing your lawn mower.
