Servicing my
Rover Mini Rider Hydro
It's now been 13 months since I acquired my Rover Mini Rider Hydro (see https://youtu.be/r9jmvZ_6Sqg). So now it is time for its first annual maintenance service. The quotation I received from the shop where I bought the mower was AUD350 for the service (including parts) and AUD100 to transport the mower to and from the shop (I don't have a towbar or trailer). Thus, I decided to do the same service after buying AUD98 of parts (extra for the new tools which I needed). Here's what I did today:
Top row (L-R): New
spark plug; new oil filter, new fuel filter (not installed today
- waiting for when the fuel tank is empty); new air filter; SAE
10W30 four-stroke engine oil.
Next below: Suction syringe for removing engine oil
Next below (L-R): Oil filter strap wrench; spark plug tool.
