Introduction
Chinese – made lawn mowers have gained popularity worldwide for their quality and affordability. To make the most of your lawn mower, here are some essential operating tips.
Pre – operation Checks
Before starting the lawn mower, conduct a thorough inspection. Check the oil level, fuel level, and blade sharpness. A sharp blade cuts grass cleanly, reducing stress on the mower’s engine. Also, ensure that all safety guards are in place and functioning properly.
Starting the Lawn Mower
For electric lawn mowers, simply plug them in. For gas – powered ones, prime the engine if required, then pull the starter cord steadily. If it doesn’t start on the first try, wait a few seconds before trying again.
Mowing Techniques
When mowing, maintain a consistent speed. Avoid mowing too fast, as it can lead to an uneven cut. Vary your mowing pattern each time to prevent the grass from leaning in one direction. Also, adjust the cutting height according to the grass type and season. In spring, you may want a slightly longer cut, while in summer, a shorter cut can help keep the lawn cool.
Post – operation Maintenance
After mowing, turn off the lawn mower and let it cool down. Clean the mower deck to prevent grass buildup, which can cause rust and affect performance. Store the mower in a dry place, and if it’s a gas – powered mower, consider draining the fuel if it won’t be used for an extended period.
