Introduction
Chinese – made lawn mowers are known for their high – quality and cost – effectiveness. Here are some essential operating tips to make the most of your lawn mower.
Pre – operation Checks
Inspect the Blades
Before each use, check the blades of your lawn mower. Dull or damaged blades can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly. If the blades are dull, sharpen them; if they are damaged, replace them.
Check the Oil and Fuel
Ensure that there is enough oil in the engine for lubrication. Also, check the fuel level. Use the recommended type of fuel for your specific lawn mower model.
Look for Loose Parts
Inspect the lawn mower for any loose nuts, bolts, or screws. Tighten them if necessary to prevent any parts from coming loose during operation.
Operating the Lawn Mower
Set the Right Cutting Height
Adjust the cutting height according to the type of grass and its growth stage. Different grasses have different optimal cutting heights. Generally, it’s better not to cut more than one – third of the grass blade at a time.
Mow in a Pattern
Mow your lawn in a consistent pattern, such as rows or stripes. This not only gives your lawn a neat appearance but also ensures even cutting.
Avoid Wet Grass
Mowing wet grass can clog the mower and make the cutting uneven. Wait for the grass to dry before mowing.
Post – operation Maintenance
Clean the Mower
After use, clean the lawn mower thoroughly. Remove any grass clippings, dirt, and debris from the blades, deck, and wheels.
Store Properly
Store your lawn mower in a dry and secure place. If you won’t be using it for an extended period, drain the fuel and oil to prevent corrosion.
