Introduction

Chinese – made lawn mowers are known for 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 your lawn mower, check the fuel level. For gasoline – powered mowers, use fresh, clean fuel. Also, check the oil level. 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, which is bad for the lawn’s health. If the blades are dull or damaged, replace them.

Operating the Lawn Mower

Starting

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to start the mower. For pull – start models, give a smooth and firm pull. Electric mowers usually just need to be plugged in and the switch turned on.

Mowing Pattern

Vary your mowing pattern each time you mow. This prevents the grass from leaning in one direction and promotes more even growth. You can mow in rows, circles, or a combination of patterns.

Post – operation Maintenance

Cleaning

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

Storage

If you’re not going to use the mower for a while, store it in a dry place. For gasoline – powered mowers, empty the fuel tank to prevent fuel degradation.
