There is a lot of good information scattered throughout this forum, I thought perhaps we could assemble best practices in one location. Please contribute. Usually the service Tech's give good advice/tips. Let the engine idle for several minutes with no load to cool down after mowing or other hard use. I have a K&N oiled foam filter inside the bottom of the air cleaner case to prefilter the paper air filter. I remove and spray the oil separator with carburetor cleaner after every hard use. It is just aft and above the oil dip stick. Seems to help. I have spares. Sharpen and or replace the blades frequently. Sea Foam in the gas occasionally. Stabil occasionally. Mobile 1 oil always. Change at 25 hours. I change the spark park plug at 50 hours. Plug in the 12 and 48 Volt chargers if unit is not used for a while. I use the the cruise control a lot when cutting the grass. Make sure the exhaust screen is not clogged. Clean the unit, engine and deck (around motors) with leaf blower after use. You get get the idea.

Hi Denny. I'm new at this so bear with me. Do you leave your chargers plugged in for over 16 hrs. I seem to be getting conflicting answers about how long you can leave charging units on! Do the chargers have shut offs built in to them? Any feedback is appreciated.

Remove tin shields from deck controllers and clean out all the grass. I was amazed how much was in there even with blowing the deck off after every use with a compressor.

Two of the deck pins no longer have keepers. Usually found at least one partially out after a mow. I put about a half inch of shrink tubing on them and hit them with a heat gun. So far so good. Since I bought my grandson a Coleman Trail Bike (TSC) he won't be ATV'n with it so the deck can stay on.

Big one here.. I fixed my 48V battery pack yesterday. After removing the battery pack, I put it on my work bench and tested each battery and found the 1 low voltage 12v battery out of the 4.
These 4 12V batteries, I found are simply 300CCA motorcycle batteries!!! I took the 1 bad battery out and took it to my local auto parts store, and found a motorcycle battery that was same size, and configuration. Replaced the bad battery in the pack and shes back in action.
I should post an entire how to on this.
