Introduction

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

Pre – operation Checks

Fuel and Oil

Before starting the lawn mower, check the fuel level. Use the recommended fuel type for your specific model. Also, check the oil level. Low oil can cause engine damage. If the oil is low, refill it according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Blades

Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or damaged blades can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, which is bad for the lawn’s health. Sharpen or replace the blades as needed.

Air Filter

A clean air filter is crucial for proper engine performance. Check the air filter and clean or replace it if it’s dirty.

Operating the Lawn Mower

Starting

Follow the correct starting procedure in the user manual. Usually, it involves setting the choke, priming the engine (if required), and pulling the starter cord firmly. Once the engine starts, let it warm up for a few minutes.

Mowing Pattern

Choose a mowing pattern, such as parallel rows or a checkerboard pattern. Changing the pattern regularly can prevent the grass from leaning in one direction and promote even growth.

Speed

Don’t rush while mowing. Move at a steady, moderate speed to ensure a clean and even cut. Pushing the mower too fast can result in an uneven lawn.

Post – operation Care

Cleaning

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

Storage

If you’re not going to use the lawn mower for a while, store it in a dry place. Drain the fuel if it will be stored for an extended period to prevent fuel system problems.
