Introduction

Chinese – made lawn mowers are known for their quality, durability, and cost – effectiveness. To make the most of your lawn mower and ensure a well – maintained lawn, here are some essential operating tips.

Pre – operation Checks

Fuel and Oil

Before starting your lawn mower, check the fuel level. Use clean and fresh gasoline for optimal performance. Also, check the oil level. If it’s low, refill it with the recommended oil type according to the user manual.

Blades

Inspect the blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or damaged blades can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, leading to a less healthy lawn. Replace or sharpen the blades as needed.

Air Filter

A clogged air filter can reduce engine performance. Remove the air filter and clean or replace it if it’s dirty.

Operating the Lawn Mower

Proper 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. This helps the grass stay healthy and resilient.

Mowing Pattern

Change your mowing pattern regularly. This prevents the grass from leaning in one direction and promotes even growth. You can mow in a straight line, diagonal, or circular pattern.

Slopes and Obstacles

When mowing on slopes, walk slowly and keep your balance. Avoid mowing up and down steep slopes directly. Also, be aware of obstacles like rocks, tree roots, and sprinkler heads, and mow around them to prevent damage to the mower and injury to yourself.

Post – operation Maintenance

Cleaning

After mowing, turn off the engine and let it cool down. Then, clean the mower deck, blades, and wheels to remove grass clippings, dirt, and debris. This helps prevent corrosion and keeps the mower in good working condition.

Storage

If you’re not going to use the lawn mower for an extended period, store it in a dry and secure place. Drain the fuel if necessary, and cover the mower to protect it from dust and moisture.
