Introduction

Chinese-made lawn mowers have gained popularity for their reliability and affordability. Here are some essential operating tips to ensure you get the most out of your machine.

Pre – operation Checks

Before starting your lawn mower, check the oil level. Low oil can cause engine damage. Also, inspect the spark plug for any signs of wear or dirt. A clean and properly – gapped spark plug ensures smooth starting. Check the blades for sharpness. Dull blades can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, leading to a less – healthy lawn appearance.

Starting the Mower

For a gasoline – powered mower, make sure the fuel valve is open. Prime the engine if necessary. Pull the starter cord smoothly and steadily. Electric mowers are easier; just plug them in and press the start button.

Mowing Techniques

Mow in straight lines for a neat look. Vary your mowing pattern each time you mow to prevent the grass from leaning in one direction. Don’t cut more than one – third of the grass blade length at a time. This helps keep the grass healthy.

Post – operation Maintenance

After mowing, turn off the mower and let it cool down. Empty the grass catcher. Clean the underside of the mower deck to prevent grass buildup, which can affect the mower’s performance. Store the mower in a dry place.
