Winter is coming … This period of inactivity is a good time to maintain all your power equipment: from chainsaws, brush cutters, hedge trimmers, snowblowers, thermal tractor mowers to ride-on mowers<\/strong>. Annual maintenance includes changing filters (air, fuel, oil and hydraulic). Nevertheless, checking your machines’ filters throughout the year is essential to optimise their performance. <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\n\n

Equipped with a 2-stroke engine, small equipment (chainsaw, brushcutter, hedge trimmer, snowblower, etc.) dedicated to the maintenance of green spaces contain an air filter. Some are also equipped with a fuel filter. Each of these filters must be maintained regularly.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Ride-on mowers, tractor-mounted thermal mowers and tillers are equipped with a 4-stroke engine. They therefore have an independent oil tank. In addition to air and fuel filters, these machines may also contain an oil filter and a hydraulic filter.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Air filters<\/h2>
There are two types of air filters in power equipment: foam filters and pleated media filters. Often, after 100 hours of use, foam filters become stiff and yellowed. They need to be changed. For pleated media filters, on average, replace them after 50 hours of use<\/strong>. However, if an air filter is torn, remove it immediately and change it.\r\n\r\nCleaning or blowing out an air filter to remove contaminants can reduce its efficiency or even damage it. As a central part of your machine’s engine system, it should be replaced regularly.\r\n\r\n\u26a0\ufe0fIn a dusty environment, more frequent maintenance is recommended to protect the mechanics of your machine.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

Fuel filters<\/h2>
If a machine is left idle for a long period of time, its fuel may become contaminated<\/strong>. These contaminants can be water, dust or other pollutants. Infected fuel deteriorates the drive system of your equipment and reduces its performance. To overcome these problems, you can:\r\n
