Introduction

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

Pre – operation Checks

Before starting the lawn mower, conduct a thorough inspection. Check the fuel level. For gasoline – powered mowers, make sure there is enough fuel. Also, examine the oil level in the engine. Low oil can cause serious damage to the engine. Inspect the blades for sharpness and any signs of damage. Dull or damaged blades will not cut the grass effectively.

Starting the Mower

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for starting. For electric mowers, simply plug it in and turn on the switch. Gasoline – powered mowers usually require you to prime the engine, set the choke, and then pull the starter cord. Be gentle with the starter cord to avoid damage.

Mowing Techniques

Mow in straight lines for a neat appearance. Overlap each pass slightly to ensure no grass is missed. Adjust the cutting height according to the type of grass and its growth stage. Taller grass can be cut in multiple passes rather than cutting too much at once, which can stress the grass.

Maintenance During Operation

If you encounter large debris like stones or sticks, stop the mower immediately and remove them. This prevents damage to the blades and the mower’s internal components. Keep an eye on the temperature of the engine. If it gets too hot, turn off the mower and let it cool down.

Post – operation Care

After mowing, turn off the mower and unplug it (for electric mowers). Clean the mower thoroughly, removing any grass clippings and dirt. Sharpen the blades regularly to maintain cutting efficiency. Store the mower in a dry and secure place to prevent rust and damage.
