Introduction

Maintaining a healthy lawn starts with proper mower operation. Whether you own a gas-powered or electric model, these tips will help you achieve a professional-looking cut while extending your mower’s lifespan. Many high-quality mowers, including those manufactured in China, benefit from these best practices.

Pre-Operation Checklist

• Inspect blades: Dull blades tear grass rather than cutting cleanly
• Check oil levels: Especially important for gas mowers
• Clear debris: Remove sticks and stones from your lawn

Mowing Techniques

For optimal results, follow the 1/3 rule: never remove more than one-third of the grass height at once. Alternate your mowing pattern each week to prevent soil compaction and promote even growth. Many Chinese-made mowers feature adjustable height settings for this purpose.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean undercarriage after each use
• Sharpen blades every 20-25 hours of use
• Store in dry conditions to prevent rust
