How Often Should You Service a Lawn Mower?

Most home mowers benefit from an annual service, while heavily used machines may need attention more often. Service timing depends on fuel habits, mowing conditions and hours of use.

What to watch for

If your machine is hard to start, runs rough, vibrates, leaks fuel or feels unsafe, stop using it and get it checked. Early repairs are often cheaper than running a machine until it fails completely.
