Introduction

Chinese – made lawn mowers have gained popularity worldwide due to their high – quality and cost – effectiveness. To ensure you get the most out of your lawn mower, here are some essential operating tips.

Pre – operation Checks

Fuel and Oil

Before starting the lawn mower, check the fuel level. Use clean, fresh fuel recommended by the manufacturer. Also, check the oil level in the engine. Low oil can cause engine damage.

Blades

Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage. Dull blades can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, leading to an uneven lawn and potential disease in the grass. If the blades are dull or damaged, replace or sharpen them.

Deck and Wheels

Examine the mower deck for any debris or blockages. A clean deck ensures smooth operation. Check the wheels for proper inflation and alignment to prevent uneven cutting.

Operation

Mowing Pattern

Change your mowing pattern regularly. Mowing in the same direction every time can cause the grass to lean in one direction and lead to an uneven appearance. Alternate between horizontal, vertical, and diagonal patterns.

Cutting Height

Adjust the cutting height according to the type of grass and the season. Generally, it’s better not to cut more than one – third of the grass blade length at a time. In the summer, keep the grass a bit longer to protect it from heat stress.

Post – operation Maintenance

Cleaning

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

Storage

Store the lawn mower in a dry and sheltered place. If you won’t use it for an extended period, drain the fuel and run the engine until it stops to prevent fuel from clogging the carburetor.
