Introduction

Chinese – made lawn mowers have gained popularity worldwide for their quality, efficiency, and affordability. Here are some essential operating tips to ensure you get the most out of your lawn mower.

Pre – operation Checks

Fuel and Oil

Before starting your lawn mower, always check the fuel level. Use clean, fresh gasoline for optimal performance. Also, check the oil level in the engine. If it’s low, add the recommended oil type according to the user manual.

Blade Inspection

Inspect the cutting blade for any signs of damage or dullness. A sharp blade cuts grass cleanly, reducing stress on the engine and giving your lawn a better appearance. Replace or sharpen the blade as needed.

Deck and Wheels

Look at the mower deck for any debris or clogs. Clear it out to prevent uneven cutting. Check the wheels for proper inflation and smooth rotation.

Operating the Lawn Mower

Starting the Mower

Follow the starting procedure in the user manual. Usually, it involves setting the choke, pulling the starter cord gently a few times, and then giving it a firm pull. Once the engine starts, adjust the choke as required.

Mowing Patterns

Vary your mowing patterns each time you mow the lawn. This helps prevent the grass from leaning in one direction and promotes even growth. You can mow in straight lines, criss – cross patterns, or a combination.

Speed and Overlap

Maintain a steady speed while mowing. Don’t rush, as it can lead to uneven cutting. Also, make sure to overlap each pass slightly to ensure you don’t miss any patches of grass.

Post – operation Maintenance

Cleaning

After mowing, turn off the engine and let it cool down. Then, clean the mower deck, blade, and wheels. Remove any grass clippings and debris to prevent corrosion and damage.

Storage

Store your lawn mower in a dry, protected place. If you won’t be using it for an extended period, drain the fuel and oil to prevent damage to the engine.
