Introduction

Chinese – made lawn mowers have gained popularity for their quality and affordability. To make the most of your lawn mower, here are some useful operating tips.

Pre – operation Checks

Fuel and Oil

Before starting the lawn mower, check the fuel level. Use clean and fresh fuel to ensure smooth operation. Also, check the oil level. Low oil can cause engine damage.

Blades

Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or damaged blades won’t cut the grass effectively and may put extra stress on the engine.

Safety Features

Make sure all safety features, such as the dead – man switch, are working properly. These features are crucial for your safety during operation.

During Operation

Mowing Pattern

Choose a mowing pattern, like parallel rows or a checkerboard pattern. This not only makes your lawn look neater but also ensures even cutting.

Speed

Don’t rush. Walk at a steady pace to allow the blades to cut the grass cleanly. If you go too fast, the grass may not be cut evenly.

Avoid Obstacles

Keep an eye out for stones, toys, or other obstacles in the lawn. Hitting these can damage the blades and the mower itself.

Post – operation Maintenance

Cleaning

After mowing, clean the lawn mower. Remove grass clippings from the blades, deck, and wheels. This helps prevent rust and keeps the mower in good condition.

Storage

Store the lawn mower in a dry and protected place. If it won’t be used for a long time, drain the fuel to prevent fuel system problems.
