Introduction

Chinese-made lawn mowers have gained popularity for their high – quality and cost – effectiveness. Here are some useful operating tips to help you make the most of your lawn mower.

Pre – operation Checks

Inspect the Machine

Before starting, carefully check the lawn mower for any visible damage, such as loose parts, cracks in the housing, or dull blades. A damaged lawn mower can not only affect the mowing quality but also pose a safety risk.

Fuel and Oil

Ensure that there is enough fuel in the tank. For gasoline – powered lawn mowers, use the recommended fuel type. Also, check the oil level and top it up if necessary. Low oil levels can cause engine damage.

During Operation

Mowing Pattern

Adopt a consistent mowing pattern, such as rows or a spiral. This will ensure an even cut and make the mowing process more efficient. Avoid mowing in random directions, which may lead to an uneven lawn surface.

Blade Height Adjustment

Adjust the blade height according to the type of grass and the desired lawn length. For most lawns, a height of 2 – 3 inches is ideal. Cutting the grass too short can stress the grass and make it more vulnerable to diseases.

Post – operation Maintenance

Clean the Mower

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

Sharpen the Blades

Regularly sharpen the blades. Dull blades can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, which can damage the grass and give the lawn an unkempt appearance.
