Drain the fluids completely for Winter
Genuine question as I haven't actually thought about this, how does that work when you don't have a winter? Where I live it doesn't get below 40° ever, or above 85°. Those are literally the overnight low in Feb, and midday high in Aug/Sep. Do I still need to drain, or just treat it like changing the oil in my car? I.E.: Every 6 months or 3500 miles, whichever comes first.
My grass doesn't grow for like 5 months of the year. If you don't have winter, you don't need to store your mower for half the year.
