Need to Know

If you own a ride-on mower in Perth’s northern suburbs, regular maintenance isn’t optional — it’s essential. Sanderson Outdoor Power Equipment services and repairs ride-on mowers across Osborne Park, Balcatta, Joondanna, Morley, and beyond. With Perth’s hot weather, sandy soil, and tough terrain, these machines work harder than most realise — and if you don’t stay on top of repairs, downtime and damage are guaranteed.

☀️ How Perth’s Environment Affects Ride-On Mowers

Perth’s northern corridor, from Yokine to Wanneroo, presents a unique set of problems:

• Sandy soil increases abrasion on belts, blades, and bearings

• Hot summers cause overheating and evaporate essential lubricants

• Dry grass and debris clog decks and filters quickly

• Sloped or uneven terrain strains transmissions and decks

At Sanderson, we’ve seen it all — from cracked pulleys to heat-seized engines — and most of it could’ve been prevented with scheduled maintenance.

⚠️ Signs Your Ride-On Needs Repairs

You shouldn’t wait until your mower stops working. Book a repair if you notice:

• Uncut strips of grass despite a full-width deck

• Grinding, squealing or vibration from the deck or transmission

• Smoke or burning smells, especially near belts or pulleys

• Jerky movement when driving uphill or turning

• Engine stalling after starting

These symptoms often point to blade issues, deck misalignment, drive belt wear, or cooling system blockage.

🧰 Preventative Tips for Longer Mower Life

With the right routine, you can avoid major breakdowns. We recommend:

• Clean your mower after every use: Grass clippings mixed with sand accelerate rust and wear

• Inspect belts monthly: Perth’s heat causes cracking and dry rot

• Blow out your air filter every 5 hours of operation — more during dry spells

• Store your mower under cover or use a UV-stabilised tarp

• Top up fuel stabiliser if your mower sits idle for more than 2–3 weeks

We stock filters, blades, lubricants, and high-quality belts at competitive prices — with professional advice to match.
