New "Mower Health Checklist" provides key tasks to eliminate the biggest engine threats

BLOOMINGTON, Minn., Feb. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Toro is calling on homeowners and landscape professionals to prepare for spring by joining America's #1 Walk Mower Brand* in celebrating Lawn Mower Maintenance Week, March 1–7, 2026. This week serves as an annual reminder to perform the essential tune-ups on your walk or zero-turn mower that help prevent mid-season breakdowns.

While basic maintenance is familiar to many mower operators, Toro is drawing attention this year to the two biggest threats to the mower's engine: friction and heat.

"Heat is the silent killer of outdoor power equipment," says Wes Bollingmo, channel and product support manager at Toro. "Think of your mower like your own body. It needs to breathe to keep moving. Clear airflow keeps it cool, clean surfaces help shed heat and fresh oil reduces internal stress. If any of those are blocked, heat can build up and that's when failures happen."

This year, Toro encourages homeowners and landscape professionals to treat Lawn Mower Maintenance Week like an annual physical. The Mower Engine Health Checklist below can serve as an at-home, once-a-year checkup to help prevent overheating and keep mowers running reliably.

Whether at home or with the help of your local dealer, performing a routine check-up this Lawn Mower Maintenance Week can reduce breakdowns, extend equipment life and ensure you start the season with confidence. †
